About Us
Rare Dementia Support (RDS) Canada is a national multi-component support community for people affected by rare dementia (non-memory led, young onset, inherited) and a centre for rare dementia education and research delivered by a multidisciplinary team of practitioners, researchers, educators and individuals with lived experience. Led by Nipissing University (NU), Rare Dementia Support Canada’s goal is to offer information and advice, develop a support community of people with lived experience and dedicated practitioners, and engage in ongoing learning through education and research about what support works, when it works best, and how it impacts quality of life. RDS Canada works in collaboration with a growing international rare dementia support network in the UK, Japan and Australia.
