💙 However you're feeling today, we're here for you.

Don’t dismiss ADHD as simply hyperactivity, poor concentration & impulsivity-to do so is to trivialise what can be very debilitating. Unmanaged it’s impact can be ‘disabling’. Please take this issue seriously. It affects 1 in 20 to varying degrees. We all know someone with ADHD

Working with yp as peer researchers- #EmergingMinds @smollypsych -need to think about ethos and values of research and understand what best and safe practice looks and feels like
