Cuppa and Conversation
A little peak into what our previous group members had to say about our Cuppa & Conversation programme.
ADHD Awareness | Family and Friends
Whilst we consider the impact on the individuals mental health, another thing that tends to often be overlooked, is the impact of ADHD /ADD on family members of those diagnosed.

Self-Care Sunday | Sleep
Today’s self-care Sunday topic is SLEEP. For some of us it’s one of our favourite hobbies, and some of us never seem to get enough of it. This seemingly simple activity, is actually a really important one when it comes to our self-care.

OCD Awareness Week
For OCD awareness week I (Shannon) have been honoured to speak with Kailyn Rector, a mental health advocate who is working to break the stigma around OCD.

World Mental Health Day
World Mental Health Day is an international day aimed at raising awareness of Mental Health issues, providing education on the subject and to help mobilise support. Each year the World Health Organisation (WHO) choose a theme and highlight issues surrounding this. 2021’s chosen theme is ‘Mental health care for all: Let’s make it a reality’.
ADHD Awareness Month
This year’s theme of ADHD Awareness Month is ‘discovering new perspectives’. This got me thinking… Primarily ADHD is recognised as a neurodevelopmental condition impacting on behaviour, and this is usually the focus of treatment.
However, the aim of this blog is to look at this from another perspective and highlight how ADHD co-exists with, and impacts on mental health.
