ADHD Embrace is a charity supporting parents and professionals who live and work with children and young people with ADHD. 5% of the population have ADHD and early intervention and support can change the outcome of a child’s life. For two decades, we have worked to ensure that children with ADHD are understood, supported and thrive.

Story

The reality of life for children and young people with ADHD is that life is extremely challenging and the beginning of a cascade of long term problems. Early support and intervention by the communities, professionals and families can make a huge difference to the individuals and help them realise their potential.

To achieve this, we have created a programme of actions to ensure that kids with ADHD are supported, understood and helped to negotiate daily challenges and the educational system through; Training courses for parents; Specialist free advice to families; Support communities for parents of ADHD children; Parenting Courses; Expert Seminars on the condition and associated challenges; Training courses for Teachers to recognise and support children with ADHD.

With these free and subsidised services, we hope to limit the following:

- High numbers of pupils with ADHD being excluded from school.

- High number of teens with ADHD suffering from mental health issues and social isolation, affecting their learning and continuing into adulthood.

- Not reaching their potential leading to economic hardship and also mental health issues.

- 25% prevalence of ADHD amongst the prison populations.

- Teenage pregnancies amongst young people with ADHD is higher than in their peers without ADHD.
