Expressing support for the designation of the week of November 10 through November 16, 2025, 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.

Congress supports the designation of National Caregiving Youth Week, which aims 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, as stated in Resolved (1). This is positive because it brings much-needed attention to an underserved population.

The resolution encourages educators, research institutions, health care professionals, community leaders, and policymakers to become more familiar with the work, needs, and contributions of caregiving youth under Resolved (3). This could lead to better understanding and support systems for these young people.

Under Resolved (4), the text recommends the inclusion of caregiving youth in statewide family caregiver task forces. This is a positive step to ensure that the voices and needs of these youth are included in formal discussions and planning.

The resolution supports Federal initiatives to provide up-to-date, nationwide research on caregiving youth under Resolved (5). This is beneficial because better data can help identify and support this population, whose actual numbers are currently unknown due to limited data collection.
