Introduction to ADHD

This training offers an informative, accessible introduction to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), designed for workplace teams, educators, healthcare providers, third sector groups, as well as families, carers, and individuals with lived experience.

We explore the evolution of how ADHD has been understood, from early medicalised and pathologising views focused on hyperactivity and behavioural control, to a more nuanced, strengths-based, and Neurodivergent-affirming perspective. This training invites participants to look beyond stereotypes and consider the real-life experiences of those with ADHD across different contexts.

Who is this training for?

This session is designed for a wide range of audiences, workplace teams, educators, healthcare professionals, community groups, third sector organisations, and individuals with ADHD, their families, and carers.

Suitable for professionals, teams, individuals, families and carers.

This is a space to deepen your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and move toward more inclusive, person-centred support and communication.
