Young caregivers
About one in four young people grow up in a family caring for a parent, brother or sister. At Surplus, we call these young family caregivers CoMogelijkMakers. And that's not just you. You do this in addition to your school, your friends and your hobbies. All of this can be spicy and stress you out. The youth workers at Surplus would be thrilled to meet you, talk to you and especially hear your story.
Want to talk about your situation and what we can do for you? Then contact youth work.

Do you recognize them?
Paying attention to these often overburdened young people is an important step toward helping them. In this way, together we ensure that young family caregivers receive support.
You can do so through the informal care support centers or Surplus youth work. Do you recognize the possible signs of a family caregiver?
Ask how they are doing
Young family caregivers provide help at home and support difficult situations. Care for parents/caregivers who are ill or siblings who need extra attention.
They make a lot possible and ensure that ‘Fleur is in bed at 6:30’, ‘Dinner is ready’ and ‘no smelly laundry’. Team Mantelzorg and Youth Work pay attention to them. And you can help too.
From June 1 through June 7, it was Young Caregiver Week. One in four young people have care at home, worry or miss care. We call these young caregivers co-caregivers.
After all, they make a lot possible in their home situation. Many young people do not know they are young caregivers. This year's focus is “Ask how they are doing.”.
We focus on the immediate environment of young informal caregivers to pick up the signals around getting stuck in informal care. Think for example of teachers and sports coaches.
Paying attention to these often overburdened young people is an important step toward helping them. In this way, together we ensure that young family caregivers receive support.
After all, young family caregivers deserve attention, a listening ear or a pat on the back.
