Over one million young Canadians provide unpaid care to family members, with approximately 40% caring for older adults such as grandparents. As Canada's population ages and chronic illness prevalence rises, the number of young people assuming caregiving responsibilities continues to grow. Despite their significant contributions, young carers face unique challenges including impacts on mental health, educational attainment, and social development, often without formal recognition or support. This Perspectives article reviews the current evidence on young carers of older adults in Canada, examines their lived experiences, and identifies systemic gaps in health, education, and social systems. Unlike the United Kingdom, which has enacted legislation formally recognizing and supporting young carers, Canada lacks comprehensive policies and support structures for this population. Innovative programs are emerging, including foundational training for health professionals, online peer support communities, and cross-sector collaborations between health-care providers, educators, and community organizations. The article recommends actionable steps including legislative recognition of young carers, improved data collection and monitoring, expanded professional training, investment in peer support programs, and implementation of family-centered care models. Primary care teams are uniquely positioned to identify young carers, recognize their contributions, and connect families with available supports. Without adequate recognition and intervention, young carers remain at risk of long-term social, academic, and mental health difficulties affecting both themselves and those for whom they care.</p>","PeriodicalId":56182,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geriatrics Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"65-68"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12931408/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147292000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The COVID-19 pandemic increased its prevalence and disproportionately affected older adults. Since telephone befriending was a potentially feasible and safe intervention during the pandemic, the McMaster Phone-a-Friend Program (PFP) was developed using this strategy to try to reduce social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and long-term feasibility of PFP. Community-dwelling older adults in Ontario, Canada were matched to trained university student volunteers, who provided social engagement and pandemic-related education through weekly telephone calls. Two main referral sources were used: 1) older adults identified by their primary care provider as at risk for social isolation; and 2) older adults referred for multi-modal frailty rehabilitation, where telephone befriending was a desired component intervention. Older adults completing ≥4 calls were contacted to participate in a telephone survey to provide program feedback. Of the 220 active participants in August 2021, 60 participated in our survey. At the time of survey completion, the mean number of calls completed was 8.3. The mean age of participants was 75.6 years and 71.7% (n=43) identified as female. Furthermore, 58.3% (n=35) of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that they felt less lonely after participating in the program and 68.3% (n=41) stated they would participate in the program after the pandemic resolves.
