Adult ADHD Melbourne is a support group for adults with ADHD, their family and friends, and health professionals working in the area. The purpose of the Adult ADHD Support Group is to provide peer support, shared resources, information, and advocacy.
We are a peer support group, rather than a professional-led group, but we do welcome any professionals who would like to come as a participant.
We meet up on the second Saturday of each month at Docklands Library, 2:00-4:00 pm. We send out a reminder email to members also, so do join up! Some months we have guest speakers, other months are a social catch up and sharing of ideas.
We also have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AdultADHDMelbourne
Coming Up
Cancelled – Saturday 14 march – social catch up in the Auditorium, upstairs at Docklands Library – 2:00 pm til 4:15 pm. Topic for discussion Outbursts and Anger – experiences, what works, what doesn’t. For a future date, or discussion on line for now.
Sunday 26 April – ADHD Coach Francine Freedman will run a session at Docklands Library in the Auditorium – always entertaining, interesting and useful!
Future sessions on the 2nd Saturday of each month will include guest speakers, and discussion topics such as Energy Swings, Mood Swings, Memory, Sleep, People Pleasing, Phobias…
Please note there is no Support Group meeting on Easter Saturday which falls on the second Saturday of the month in April but do come along to Francine’s session later in April if you can.
