AI Summary

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion from the Colorado House of Representatives and Senate, officially recognizes February 20, 2026, as Caregiving Youth Day, with a specific observance on February 27, 2026, at the state capitol. It acknowledges that caregiving youth are individuals under eighteen who provide significant care for family members with health needs, often while balancing school and other responsibilities. The resolution highlights that these young caregivers perform adult-level tasks, face increased risks of stress and isolation, and are an underserved population. Therefore, it aims to increase awareness, encourage policymakers and organizations to provide appropriate support and resources, and promote further research and collaboration to better address the needs of these resilient young people who contribute greatly to their families and communities.
