Becoming a parent is a big change for anyone, but for someone with ADHD, it can feel overwhelming.
Recently, I supported a young man who was about to become a dad for the first time. He had ADHD, little family support, and was doing everything he could to be there for his partner. But underneath, he was struggling.
It might have looked like he was angry or pulling away, but really, he was overwhelmed. The lack of routine, the big emotions, the unknowns… it was too much for his nervous system. He wasn’t being difficult, he was scared, overstimulated, and didn’t know how to cope.
At Nurture Assist, we don’t just look at behaviour, we look at what’s underneath. We gave him tools, clear support, and a calm space to understand what was going on. And the change was incredible.
With the right kind of support, he didn’t just show up as a dad, he became the steady support his partner needed, and the father he hoped to be.
If you're neurodivergent and finding the transition to parenting tough, you're not alone and we’re here to help.

When we get positive feedback from our participants it means so much. It tells us we are getting it right. This week we made a difference to someone, and they sent us a beautiful message of thanks. It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day, but when someone takes the time to say “thank you, you really made a difference”, it reminds us exactly why we do what we do. Our cup is full and we are ready for another busy week.

10KM DONE! Just wrapped up the Melbourne Fun Run and feeling on top of the world! 🎉🏃‍♀️
The legs are tired, right hip is screaming 🤣 but the mind is clearer than ever. There’s something powerful about getting outside, moving your body, and soaking up that community energy. Exercise isn’t just about fitness, it’s one of the best things we can do for our mental health.
Days like today are a great reminder that even a little movement can lift your mood, clear your head, and reconnect you with life. Big shoutout to everyone who showed up, cheered, ran, and supported, what a vibe!
Here’s to more running, more sunshine, and more moments that make us feel alive.
