About this organization
OUR VISION
A Canada where young caregivers and their families are recognized, supported and empowered to achieve their full potential.
OUR MISSION
Young Caregivers Association is the leader in service, awareness and empowerment for young carers and their families across Canada.
Our work began in 2003 when the Young Carers Initiative Niagara was created as a special project of the Alzheimer Society of Niagara in response to the children and youth they identified as participating in the caregiving of a loved one with dementia. It became clear that these children were struggling with stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression. Building on the principle that caregiving is a family event, action was taken. Through a collaboration of young caregivers, community partners, research, and funders, awareness and educational materials were developed along with programs designed specifically for young caregivers.
