ADHD Awareness Month in Angus

Making cycling more accessible with Dundee and Angus ADHD Support Group

Graeme recently visited the Dundee and Angus ADHD Support Group to discuss the support available for families, children, and young people suffering from ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, better known as ADHD, is a Neuro-Developmental condition that impairs how a person’s mind develops and how they see and interact with the world around them. People with ADHD can often find it difficult to concentrate, follow directions or regulate their impulsive behaviour.

Dundee and Angus ADHD Support group was established in 2013 when the now Project Director’s son received a diagnosis of ADHD. Their aim is to provide services to support and empower children, young people and parents/carers suffering from or affected by, the medical condition known as ADHD and through this raise tolerance, awareness, and acceptance of the condition. Their vision is for all to understand ADHD and recognise the condition as real and accept those people who have it as having a familiar and normal health condition.

The Group provide support through many avenues including youth groups, a parent support group, IMPACT courses and family support.

– Graeme

ADHD affects around 5% of school aged children and this means that approximately 37,000 pupils in Scotland experience difficulties as a result of the disorder.

 With the right support, people with ADHD can enjoy successful careers and personal lives. ADHD is associated with many strengths including creative thinking, energy, humour and willingness to take risks. Dundee and Angus ADHD Support Group is an excellent local organisation offering help and support.  I would encourage anyone with concerns to reach out to them.

Graeme visited Dundee and Angus ADHD Support Group at their Arbroath premises, where he spoke with Louise Scott and some of the team about ADHD Awareness Month.

– Project Coordinator Louise Scott

Dundee and Angus ADHD Support Group were delighted that MSP Graeme Dey wanted to come and visit us, and we would like to thank him for recognising the work we do.

 Support for families with a diagnosis of ADHD is crucial as many families and young people can feel isolated but with the right advice and support, they can thrive. If any families, feel we can help please visit our website for further information www.adhddasupport.org.
