Mission

The mission of Global Neuro YCare is to EDUCATE through the creation and translation of materials and programs for children, youth and families;  ADVOCATE with national and international organizations to guide the creation of regional, cultural and country-specific programming; and SUPPORT research addressing the needs and experiences of young carers.

Vision

We envision a world where every child, youth, and young adult caring for a person living with a neurological condition has access to education, resources, and support reflective of their culture and language. 

What We Do

Our Values

Language Diversity

We are committed to breaking language barriers and inclusive communication by translating and adapting materials for diverse communities. GNYC works to ensure children and families can access resources in their native languages for meaningful support.

Culture

We recognize and respect cultural differences in caregiving practices. We develop culturally sensitive programs that resonate with the lived experiences of young caregivers and partner with organizations globally to ensure locally relevant support and easy access.

Ethical Approach

GNYC upholds the highest ethical and professional standards in all programs and partnerships. We align with global healthcare, education, and child welfare regulations to do our best to ensure confidentiality and dignity in all engagements.

Social Justice

GNYC advocates for equitable access to resources and support for young caregivers, regardless of background. We address disparities in healthcare and education for families affected by neurological conditions by tailoring programs and supports to meet people where they are.

Evidence

GNYC’s programs are rooted in clinical expertise and research-driven approaches. We are dedicated to continuously refining programs based on scientific data and real-world experiences. We collaborate with experts to develop and validate impactful caregiver resources.

Accessibility

We provide easy-to-use, free, and widely available resources for young caregivers. We ensure digital and physical materials are accessible for individuals from urban centers to remote villages.

Joy

GNYC aims to foster hope and positivity in the caregiving journey. We create engaging child-friendly resources to make learning enjoyable. We encourage moments of joy and connection for children navigating complex family dynamics.
