This October, ADHD Ireland is transitioning from mere awareness to active empowerment. Our focus is on educating others, uplifting our community, spreading acceptance and celebrating self-knowledge.
“An estimated 5% of Ireland’s population is impacted by ADHD, but our approach encompasses families, friends, educators, clinicians, and teachers, aiming to foster an understanding and accepting society through the year but especially a huge range of events in October to celebrate the awareness month.” Said Ken Kilbride CEO of ADHD Ireland
Beginning on October 3th with a fantastic webinar on Neurodivergence and co-occurring conditions like ADHD & ASC (Autism), led by industry expert Prof Amanda Kirby. On October 8th, ADHD Cork Branch hosts the “Meet The Experts” event at the Metropole Hotel. This is followed by our 5th Virtual European ADHD Conference, featuring esteemed speakers such as Prof Suzy Young and author and journalist Kat Brown. A week later we are hosting Europe’s one of the first one in the country if not in the world ADHD Parent Retreat for parents of ADHD children both diagnosed and undiagnosed.
“This retreat represents a revolutionary event in Ireland, providing an opportunity for parents with a platform to connect, exchange experiences, acquire new techniques, engage in diverse workshops, and all while unwinding with creative workshops. Each activity is intended to benefit parents, thereby supporting their children and families effectively. The fantastic event will take place in the Kilkenny” – said The National Programme Development Manager Nicola Coss.
Other activities include expert webinars, educator and SNA trainings, support and creative groups, a creative group, mindfulness and hiking at Sugar Loaf.
