Understanding my ADHD
Join us for a transformative 6-week group course ‘Understanding my ADHD’ designed to empower ADHD children and young teens. Through interactive sessions, participants will explore what ADHD means to them, identify strategies to support their well-being, articulate their needs, and celebrate their uniqueness.
A diagnosis is not required, although your child should be on the pathway and aware that they are likely ADHD.

The trainers were fantastic with the children, I was so impressed with how they engaged with, listened to and understood them. The content of the course has really impressed me, they have covered things that we hadn’t even thought to discuss with our child and they have looked at every topic in such a positive way.

What is the role of parents/carers in the online sessions?
We need parents to be in the background of all sessions to ensure the young person is safe and does not move away from the session onto other sites. We also anticipate that a parent/carer may need to play an active role in setting their child up on Zoom for the session, ensuring they have all the resources required for the session and helping them to join in with activities as necessary.
How many trainers will there be?
There will be two trainers in every session.
