Young Carers: Identification, needs and barriers

Date/Time

05/07/2024 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Who is the course for: Identifying young carers is everyone’s responsibility: anyone who cares for or works with children and young people, as well as professionals who work with adults with long-term or chronic health conditions.

About the course: Delivered by the MYA RAISE Team in partnership with Barnardo’s Action for Young Carers, this bitesize session aims to increase awareness of the complex needs of young carers/young adult carers and understand how early identification and support for children & young people who have caring responsibilities can positively impact their mental health and overall wellbeing.

Making Young Carers’ rights a reality. This session will explore who is a young carer and the reasons young carers can appear hidden. It will also discuss the negative impact of caring responsibilities vs. the positive impact of caring, understanding their needs, and what best practice looks like to support the mental health and well-being of all young carers.

Learning outcomes:

Understand the negative impact the caring role can have
Ways of supporting early identification of young carers
Awareness of the barriers to identifying young carers and ways to overcome these
What best practice looks like and how to work towards it.
