To remain completely independent advocates:

Our staff have a wide knowledge and understanding of the difficulties people living with Hidden Impairments face on a daily basis and have a high success rate in helping others come to terms with their differences so enabling them to live up to their full potential.

We hold regular meetings in Kirkby Malzeard Ripon, where we collect information and discuss issues of common concern.

We meet with various Voluntary Sector Organisations to discuss the developments which have been put in place to support people with ADHD in the Yorkshire area i.e. 

	Transition and Awareness Training
	Screening Tools for use in Schools and the Workplace
	Self Help Groups

Living with undiagnosed ADHD often causes severe emotional harm, more than 15% of the population are affected.

A recent study revealed that 75% of UK prison inmates have Hidden Disabilities. Slowly but surely the Government are beginning to recognise this fact, but for now the majority are still not being treated due to the lack of resources.

ADHD Yorkshire work in partnership with numerous organisations who we are in regular contact with to ensure that our records are kept up to date.
