We're here to help the est. 280,000 Kiwis who have ADHD, to focus on their strengths and manage their challenges successfully.
Nationwide
ADHD New Zealand was formed in 1979 as a support group for people with children with ADHD.
Now we have Raewyn, our National Co-ordinator who is a paid staff member, and our activities are governed by a Board of specialists in their fields, albeit they're volunteers.
On a daily basis, Raewyn manages numerous enquiries from people seeking information and advice on how they or their child can get assessed, and possibly diagnosed with ADHD. She also facilitates enquiries from people wanting help via counselling; help with challenges at their place of work, or from parents wanting to know how to navigate the education system so they can get the support that their children need at school.
While we're still a small organisation, we have a 50,000-strong community, and it's still growing.
