It is very important to raise awareness and better understanding of ADHD. One good way to do this is to create places where we share information and support health professionals and public service who work with adhd people. Better understanding and management of adhd also improve quality of life. Together we make the change!
Every year our goal is to reach the public and raise awareness in Europe and globally. In 2022, we celebrated #TalkingThursdays by launching videos and live online webinars each week of October.
ADHD Europe members talking about diagnosis / treatment in their country. Diagnosis & Treatment is different in each European country in Europe. Our members from Europe shared their best practices and knowledge. All videos are very informative for everyone globally.
