 ADHD Support
West Sussex ADHD Support is a parent-led volunteer team, supporting parents, carers, family and members living with a diagnosis or the symptoms of ADHD. Their overarching aim is to combine and further enhance existing parent support in West Sussex for ADHD support. The long-term vision is to produce a countywide offer of West Sussex ADHD Support.
They currently have support hubs in Crawley and Worthing where they share information and have regular social events and support meetings. They had their first ever ADHD Conference on 7 February 2018, where it was attended by 162 people (70% professionals and 30% parents/carers) and was oversubscribed with a waiting list of 144!
