Hosted by The Change Foundation, the Hot Talks on Health, A Spotlight on Young Carers, will shine a light on this often invisible population of caregivers.

This event will feature keynote commentary from the U.K. on the state of young carer supports, and how young carers are supported (or not) in the health care system. In addition, you will hear the story and journey of an Ontario young carer, as well as insights on the caregiver recognition and support movement in Ontario. Panelists:

  1. Jenny Frank, Strategic Consultant, Young Carers England 

  2. Janet Beed, Health Care Consultant and Advisor, Ontario Caregiver Initiative 

  3. Abbigail, Ontario young carer
