The YoungCare consortium is proud to announce the official release of its Policy and Professional Caregivers Recommendations, available in both short and full versions.
This milestone is the result of a collaborative process that culminated in three European expert roundtables, two of which involved structured co-creation sessions with 38 and 28 participants, respectively. During these sessions, participants explored six key challenges faced by informal caregivers: lack of time, information gaps and complexity, gender inequality, financial difficulties, psychological and emotional burden, and infrastructure and accessibility issues.
Through this participatory approach, the YoungCare team co-developed actionable recommendations for both policymakers and professional caregivers. Contributors who expressed interest in being publicly recognised have been formally acknowledged in both documents.
