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.

Help us continue our work now!
