"More Than You See: Recognizing the Hidden Role of Youth Caregivers"

Join us in person for the First Annual Youth Caregiver Symposium to share, learn, and connect! Join Caregivers Outreach: Youth Empowerment (COYE) for the First Youth Caregiver Symposium, a groundbreaking event dedicated to raising awareness of youth caregiving and advancing support for the millions of young people who help care for a parent, grandparent, sibling, or loved one affected by illness, disability, aging, mental health challenges, or other chronic conditions.

This inaugural symposium will bring together educators, healthcare professionals, social workers, researchers, policymakers, community organizations, caregivers, and youth advocates to explore the hidden realities of youth caregiving and develop strategies to better identify, support, and empower youth caregivers in our communities.

The symposium is a call to action for schools, healthcare providers, government agencies, and community organizations to work collaboratively to ensure youth caregivers are recognized, supported, and connected to the resources they need to thrive.

Together, we can build a future where no youth caregiver feels invisible, and every young caregiver has the opportunity to succeed at home, in school, and in life.

Caregivers Outreach believes that health awareness and access to resources are essential to building a healthy, informed, and flourishing community. In collaboration with our community partners and supporters. We are excited to host an Autism and Other Disabilities Health Fair on Friday, August 28, 2026, in Co-op City. You don’t know what you don’t know. The decisions we make for ourselves and our loved ones are often based on the information and resources available to us. Let’s turn “I don’t know” into “Now I know!”

At the Health Fair, you will have the opportunity to connect with more than 30 community organizations ready to provide information, answer your questions, share valuable resources, and help you navigate services related to Autism and other disabilities. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, family member, neighbor, or simply someone who wants to learn more, there is something here for you. You may discover a resource, service, or organization that can make a meaningful difference in your life or the life of someone you care about.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and become better informed. Invite a family member, friend, or neighbor to join you. Come with your questions and leave with information, connections, and resources. We look forward to seeing you Friday, August 28, in Co-op City! You don’t know what you don’t know. Come find out, because now you’ll know!

COYE is dedicated to identifying, supporting, and advocating for youth caregivers- young people who provide care and support to a parent, grandparent, sibling, or loved one affected by illness, disability, aging, mental health challenges, or chronic health conditions. While millions of youth caregivers exist across the United States, many remain unrecognized and unsupported.
Through awareness campaigns, professional training, community outreach, respite programming, research, advocacy, and direct support services, COYE is building a movement to ensure youth caregivers and their families receive the recognition, resources, and support they deserve.
Ongoing Community Impact Initiatives

These programs bring together youth caregivers, families, educators, healthcare providers, community organizations, policymakers, and advocates to raise awareness, improve access to resources, and strengthen support systems across our communities.

“What About Me?”
Supporting Siblings in Families Impacted by Disability

Join us for this month’s Let’s Talk Monthly Webinar, an engaging and supportive online conversation designed to bring caregivers, parents, family members, and professionals together to discuss real-life challenges and practical solutions.

This month, we will explore an important topic affecting many families:
Are you a parent of a child with a disability while also caring for other children in the home?
Have you ever heard your child say:
“What About Me?”

Balancing the needs of a child with a disability while ensuring siblings feel seen, heard, and supported can be challenging. Siblings often experience a wide range of emotions, including guilt, resentment, frustration, anger, disappointment, confusion, and hurt. Yet their experiences are frequently overlooked.

During this interactive discussion, we will explore:
How parents can create intentional one-on-one time with siblings
Understanding the emotional experiences of siblings of children with disabilities
Strategies to strengthen family relationships and communication
Resources and support available for families navigating these challenges
Opportunities to share experiences and learn from others
Whether you are a parent, caregiver, family member, educator, or service provider, this conversation offers valuable insights, support, and practical tools.
