ADHD Awareness-Raising Training

Our awareness-raising training will increase your understanding of attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), developing your skills and confidence with practical strategies to better support children, young people, adults and families living with ADHD. It includes an understanding of the current diagnostic criteria for ADHD and the characteristics of the three presentations of ADHD.

Training can be delivered as full-day, half-day or twilight sessions with learning outcomes tailored appropriately.

OFSTED and CQC guidance advises professionals and carers to work in a person-centred way and to be creative in order to minimise behaviour that presents as challenging.
