Why We’re Different

  • We’re open-minded, non-judgmental, and inclusive of all approaches.
  • You choose your path—we’re here to support you.
  • We believe in building strong foundations first: understanding root causes, enhancing wellbeing, and making informed decisions.

Navigating ADHD can feel overwhelming. We’re here to help guide you through it.

Empowering You with Knowledge

Since 2013, our community gathered for monthly expert speaker evenings in Sydney, with families travelling from Wollongong, Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast to attend in person. In 2020, we transitioned our events online – a shift that now allows families across Australia to attend and enables us to engage leading ADHD experts from around the world. We cover a wide range of ADHD-related topics, from psychology and education to nutrition, sleep, mindfulness, medication and more.

 

Past Events Include:

Social skills, parenting, study tips, school collaboration, time management, anxiety, speech & language, medication, sensory processing, gut health, nutrition, structural imbalances, food sensitivities, mitochondrial function, epigenetics, exercise, breathwork, rejection sensitivity, and more.

Supporting You With Online Programs

Pre-2020, families travelled from Wollongong, Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast to attend our events. Since moving online, you can now join us from anywhere.

Our Programs

  • ADHD & Parenting: Our highly regarded online Ultimate ADHD Parenting Program delivers proven strategies and tools to empower you. It’s also a safe space to share and connect with others navigating similar challenges. 
  • Digital Parenting Program: Parenting in today’s digital world presents new complexities.
