This course is for anyone wishing to enhance their knowledge of ADHD, its possible causes and characteristics, and the strengths and challenges of those who have it.
During the course, you can find out more about the common brain differences of those with ADHD compared to neurotypical brains, the impact of executive functioning differences, more about stigma and misconceptions, and how having ADHD can influence mental health.
In each session, you will take a deep dive into different aspects of ADHD, including:

Whether you are learning for yourself or for someone you are caring for or supporting, this course will give you new insight into ADHD and how you can even better support yourself and/or others.
