Expressing support for the designation of the week of November 13 through November 19, 2023, 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.

HCONRES 77 designates the week of November 13-19, 2023, as "National Caregiving Youth Week" to raise public awareness about children and adolescents under 18 who provide primary or secondary care for family members with health conditions like chronic illness, disability, or aging. It recognizes these young caregivers as an underserved group facing challenges balancing care duties with school, mental health, and well-being. The resolution encourages educators, health professionals, and policymakers to acknowledge their contributions and supports new federal research to better understand their needs. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws, funding, or services but aims to foster national recognition of this population.
