HCONRES 114 United States House · 117th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of the week of November 13 through November 19, 2022, as "National Caregiving Youth Week" to raise awareness and encourage national recognition of children and adolescents under 18 years of age who serve as a primary or secondary caregiver for family or household members.

This concurrent resolution designates the week of November 13-19, 2022, as "National Caregiving Youth Week" to raise awareness about children and adolescents under 18 who provide regular care for family members with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or aging needs. It directly recognizes this underserved population - estimated at 3-5 million nationwide - who often balance caregiving with school, mental health, and limited access to support services. The resolution encourages educators, health professionals, and policymakers to learn about these youth’s contributions and challenges, but it does not create new programs or funding. As a symbolic gesture, it aims to foster national recognition without implementing concrete policy changes.
