Young Carers Week Celebrated for the First Time in Flanders – #WeCareForYou
Did you know that 1 in 5 children and young people in Flanders not only navigate their youth but also take on the responsibility of caring for someone else? These young carers often feel isolated, as the challenges they face are rarely discussed. To break this silence, ZoJong! (SoYoung!) is launching the #WeCareForYou campaign during the Week of Young Carers (21-28 October).
We invite everyone to get creative and join the movement! Share a fun photo of your crossed fingers with cute faces and arms drawn on them—symbolizing ‘I’ve got your back!’ and ‘You’re not alone!’ Add #WeCareForYou and tag @zojong.be so we can see and share your posts. You can even use our custom GIFs—just search for ‘zojong’ or ‘jongemantelzorg’ on Instagram.
Let’s come together to show Flanders that young carers are seen, supported, and celebrated!
