Parents INC: An ADHD course for parents / carers of primary age children (5-11 years) with a diagnosis of ADHD

What is it?

Parents INC is a 9 week online course (1 hour per week) for parents/carers where you will learn more about ADHD, how it affects your child, ways to help you support them and manage difficult behaviours.
Each week we discuss ideas and strategies and you will be asked to practice these at home between group sessions. This is important to help you to get the most benefit from the programme.

This course is for parents and carers and not for children and young people.

What does each session involve?

Parents INC is not group therapy, it is a class delivered either online or face to face. For the online course, your camera and microphone will be switched off during the sessions. There is a chat feature which you will be invited to use to post questions / comments.
NHS professionals give you information about ADHD and associated parenting challenges and teach you tried and tested methods of supporting your child and managing difficult behaviours.
You will receive handouts for each session
You can invite a friend or family member to join the session, particularly if they help you care for your child

You will not be asked to share your personal experiences
