The services youth

Young caregivers, aged between 12 and 25, experience strong negative emotions when a sibling, romantic partner or parent is dealing with a mental health issue. This can lead to feelings of shame, depression, helplessness, frustration, sadness, worry, loneliness and guilt, among other things. Also, young people with mental health issues tend to confide in their friends, leading many young people to be in a helping position. Youth services make it possible to consider the specific issues facing young caregivers.
