Young People Affected by Huntington’s Disease YPAHD Day is a one-day conference designed specifically for youth affected by HD (14-35 years of age).

Young People Affected by Huntington disease (YPAHD) is the youth chapter of The Huntington Society of Canada (HSC). Youth from across the country gather regionally to learn about genetic testing, family planning, caring for someone with HD, navigating relationships, think about event planning during the round table discussions and more! YPAHD Day will be educational, fun and interactive. It will help forge new friendships and strengthen those support systems that mean everything to YPAHD members. For more information about YPAHD, click here! To see photos from previous YPAHD Days, visit our page here. Have questions about YPAHD or future YPAHD Days? Contact [email protected]!
