As 15- to 24-year-olds take on more work helping elderly and disabled relatives, their studies suffer – and educators are just beginning to explore ways to help them
across the country’s elementary and secondary schools to help identify young, informal care providers and boost their academic performance.
Rebekah Norman began to take more responsibility over her siblings in her teens as her father struggled with addiction and mental illness. As their mother cared for their father, the siblings worked to keep the house in order while supporting their mother emotionally. “There’s a notion that young carers have lost out on their childhood and are growing up too fast,” Ms. Norman said. “But not only do you learn how to problem solve and adapt, you learn how to be very empathetic.”
Mr. Fitzpatrick is advising on a separate pilot project to establish go-to support workers for young carers at two high schools and two CEGEPS in Quebec; the hope is to broaden the program nationally.throughout Niagara’s public and Catholic boards since 2015, designed to help young carers cope. Led by other caregivers, the sessions allow kids to consider how they feel about their carer roles.
As she contemplates her future caregiving role, 25-year-old Alexandria Gonzales has made a point of only applying to graduate medical and dentistry programs close to home. Ms. Gonzales helps her 33-year-old brother, Albert, who has autism, and lives with her, another brother and their parents in Burlington, Ont.
