ADHD
Our programmes with young people with ADHD help them understand what the diagnosis means, and find ways to avoid it negatively impacting their adolescent development and education.
Young people with ADHD can find it hard to understand what it means to have been given this diagnosis. Many are formally identified as having ADHD at a much younger age, but it is only as a teenager that they begin to have the capacity to question and explore what it means to be given this 'label'. However there is often no appropriate context for them to raise these questions.
The group programmes give the opportunity for young people to begin to understand more about ADHD including how health and diet can help with symptoms and some of the positive sides to having ADHD. They also bring together young people, often for the first time, to talk with others who have ADHD. The impact of these connections is often profound.
We run ADHD programmes across all Luton secondary schools and, where required, in other venues.
