Week of the young caregiver June 1 to 7, 2025
This week is all about you: the young caregiver! Nationwide and also at municipality Opsterland we pay extra attention to young people and children who care for someone close to them.
Maybe you help with Health, participate in the household, or arrange things because the other person can't do it for a while. Often a lot of attention goes to the person who needs Health , but you deserve attention too!
