About this event
A workshop that looks at girls and women with ADHD.
Evidence Base: ADHD is underdiagnosed in girls and they often also receive a late diagnosis. Girls may present differently and are more likely to be overlooked; there is underlying gender bias. Girls can be very adept at masking/camouflaging and ADHD in girls can also be more stigmatised. This can result in misdiagnosis, anxiety and mental health issues – particularly as girls enter secondary education.
Objective: This workshop is designed to help parents and carers understand more about the particular challenges which girls with ADHD can face and leave equipped with strategies and approaches to help celebrate and support them.
This workshop is commissioned by Hertfordshire County Council.
