Caregiving relatives are an indispensable part of care provision. However, there is little awareness of the fact that children, adolescents and young adults are also involved in providing care and support for relatives. The “Young Carers” research programme closes this gap through the collection of data on the situation in Switzerland and the development of tools for raising awareness by experts.
