Recognize and support caregiving youth

Lois Frankel introduced and supports a bipartisan resolution designating November 9–15, 2026, as National Caregiving Youth Week. It recognizes young people under 18 who regularly care for a loved one as an underserved and underrecognized group, encourages educators, policymakers and health professionals to learn about their needs, and urges schools and education agencies to identify these students and connect them with appropriate resources. It also supports federal initiatives for current nationwide research on caregiving youth.
