This concurrent resolution expresses congressional support for designating the week of November 10 through November 16, 2025, as "National Caregiving Youth Week." The primary goal is to raise awareness and encourage national recognition of children and adolescents under 18 who serve as primary or secondary caregivers for family or household members. These caregiving youth assist individuals with chronic illness, disability, or other health conditions, performing duties typically handled by adults. The resolution highlights that caregiving youth often face significant challenges balancing their responsibilities with education, mental health, and overall well-being, frequently lacking access to resources available to adult caregivers. It notes that families of color and low-income families are disproportionately affected and emphasizes the urgent need for new national research to identify and support this underserved population. Congress recommends including caregiving youth in statewide family caregiver task forces and supports federal initiatives for up-to-date, nationwide research.
