Abstract
The focus of national and international health and social care policies on the impact of young onset dementia has increased during recent decades. National dementia strategies have aimed to recognise the distinct needs of younger people with dementia and their families and promote evidence-based age-appropriate services via recommendations of good practice. This chapter provides an overview of the different international approaches to the provision of post-diagnostic support, along with examples of good practice across Europe and Australia. Despite the remaining gaps in research and practice, current evidence suggests that significant progress has been made towards establishing the basic principles of good practice in young onset dementia and the fundamental attributes of age-appropriate needs-led services. The increasing pockets of good practice around the world allow for an optimistic view regarding more effective services for young onset dementia in the future.
