Young Carers Awareness Day
Applies to-All Schools
Young Carers Awareness Day is organised annually by Carers Trust to highlight the pressures and challenges experienced daily by young people as a result of caring for a member of their family.
This year, Young Carers Awareness Day is on 31 January.
Being a young carer is a risk factor for young people’s mental health, so the focus for the day this year will be on how the pressures of caring can lead to many young carers experiencing problems with their mental health.
