online
Study Authors: Martin Nagl-Cupal, Helena Arwanitis, and Ulrike Tscherne
This online presentation will showcase the findings of an Austria-wide study conducted by the Institute for Nursing Science. For the first time, the study systematically analyzes and compares 15 support programs for young carers.
The event offers insights into the current care landscape, successful practical examples, existing challenges, and future areas of action.

Learn how families, schools, and healthcare facilities can provide support, where gaps in care remain, and what measures are needed to empower affected children and adolescents in the long term.
The event is aimed at professionals in healthcare, nursing, social work, and education; decision-makers; interested members of the public; and anyone committed to addressing the realities of young carers’ lives. It will provide a platform to raise awareness of young carers and to explore sustainable ways of supporting them in Austria.
The event will be held in German and will be recorded for later viewing on YouTube.
