    ADHD AWARE

    We support adults impacted by ADHD by providing volunteer-led peer support groups, nationally and in Brighton and Hove. We hold a programme of monthly sessions, both in person and online, for: adults with ADHD; their partners; and for the parents of ADHD school-aged children and young adults. We also provide neurodiversity awareness training for private and public sector organisations.
