About Us
Join a small supportive and vibrant group of adults (up to 12) who, just like you, are navigating the complexities of life with ADHD. We welcome all experiences, including late diagnosis, coinciding neurodiversities, comorbidities, or age-related factors like menopause.
This group is perfect for you if you:
· have been diagnosed with ADHD or suspect that you may have it;
· are ready to explore what ADHD means to you;
· want to manage your ADHD challenges and embrace your strengths;
· are ready to connect with others who are on the same journey.
Each session will delve into a different topic, providing a safe and understanding space to reflect on our challenges, identify our next steps, and work towards embracing our whole selves.
