At KaRa MINDS, we value collaboration

Dementia is a complex condition, and each person’s circumstances are unique. KaRa MINDS is committed to helping people with and without dementia to better understand the condition so that we can build a dementia-friendly world.

Working with our global partners, KaRa MINDS supports our partners to discover and validate new treatment interventions and approaches to care, whilst monitoring the health of our community.
