A reminder after the recent Channel 4 programme about ADHD 💜
We know the programme and some of the conversations around it have had a real impact on many parent carers, families and individuals. If you have been left feeling upset, dismissed, angry, confused or worried your feelings are valid. 🫶🏻
ADHD is not a myth, and neither are the experiences of the people living with it, or the families supporting them.
So, we want to remind everyone of something simple but incredibly important… ...Kindness 💕 costs nothing.
A safe space.
A listening ear.
Genuine compassion.
Taking the time to understand someone else's experience.
These things matter, now more than ever.
Whatever anyone's personal views or opinions, the responsibility to support the people around us, both at work and in our communities, remains exactly the same.
And what we do want to say is this:
ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions whether formally diagnosed, identified or suspected are not up for debate.
Behind every diagnosis is a person. Behind every family is a story. Behind every parent carer is a journey that others may never fully see.
We don't all have to agree. But we can choose to be respectful. We can choose kindness. We can choose to listen rather than judge.
Please look after one another. 💕
Reach out if you need to talk. We are here to listen, without judgement. 🫶🏻
