This year we are super excited to bring you information highlighting ‘‘Many faces of ADHD’. We encourage the ADHD community to increase awareness and understanding by sharing ADHD information and to support communities that can benefit them in various ways.
ADHD Europe have planned the following activities with our members and the ADHD Global Coalition. We are also absolutely thrilled to be supported by ADHD World Federation for the work we do, by assisting us to share our information to their network globally.
There is continued cultural “stigma & discrimination ”about ADHD amongst specialists, in the media and the general public. Our member organisations in Europe have mentioned that professionals apply a psychoanalytic approach only instead of a multi-modal treatment approach for children and adults with ADHD. There are different viewpoints on ADHD as a disorder and on its medication in society, including approaches of non-pharmalogical / multi-modal approaches that can work alone or together for a person living with ADHD.

Understand and Encourage (Children, Parents, Teachers)
Meet the Host – Karen Sampson Hoffman
Karen’s work in CHADD (United States of America) has been to write factsheets, webpages, brochures, articles & newsletters, along with creating webinars and videos, all to provide evidence-based information on an easy-to-understand level. Sheo answered calls on the CHADD – Children & Adults with ADHD helpline & guided callers to resources or explained ADHD, its supports & treatments, plus the US laws regarding disabilities that callers can take advantage of to improve their lives. ADHD is much better understood as a brain-based condition rather than a willful one than it was even 20 years ago. However, the misunderstanding that it’s primarily a childhood condition, rather than lifelong, continues. Stigmas about evaluation and treatment – especially medication management – some based on misinformation and some on the stigmas related to mental health and the purposes use of medication. Unfortunately, there are prominent people and organizations that continue to deliberately promote misinformation. CHADD’s work is to support the ADHD community and provide evidence-based information on treatment options, up-to-date research, normalizing educational and workplace supports for individuals who have ADHD

EUNETHYDIS which is a network of scientists (animal and human research), clinicians and clinical researchers, cardiologists, pharmacologists and neuroscientists dedicated to the study and treatment of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Hyperkinesis. The European ADHD Guidelines Group is a part of EUNETHYDIS set up to serve “the provision of evidence based clinical recommendations”. It therefore seeks to apply reliable scientific knowledge to help decision-makers, service users and practitioners in making well-informed judgments about how to improve the management of people affected by ADHD. This over-riding goal involves making reviews, recommendations and guidelines, and identifying gaps in the science base. It does so, in the general spirit of EUNETHYDIS, by acting as a co-operative group of scientific and clinical disciplines, where knowledge is disseminated in an atmosphere of trust, loyalty, and mutual respect. It will maintain high ethical standards in its activities. https://eunethydis.eu/
Our Goal for ADHD Awareness
To provide reliable information and resources to help people move forward with ADHD. Although the month of October is designated as ADHD Awareness Month, learning and sharing information about ADHD is beneficial all year long! We encourage the ADHD community to help all people move forward by continuing to share information, understanding, and support.
