Understanding ADHD in Children and Young People

Overview

ADHD is often thought of as a childhood condition, but millions of adults worldwide live with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder every day. Unfortunately, ADHD in adults is frequently underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and stigmatized, leading to challenges in careers, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

By the end of this program, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to understand ADHD as it presents in adults, challenge myths, and build supportive strategies that encourage growth, resilience, and confidence.
