Social skills are crucial for forming meaningful and lasting relationships, which help make us more resilient. Unfortunately, poor social skills can lead to negative outcomes, including mental health issues and difficulties in forming friendships. This is something that is particularly prevalent in our neurodivergent community.
The beginning of a new school year should be a fresh start, full of opportunities for new friendships and experiences. However, for many young people, particularly those with ADHD or Autism, who may well have spent the summer break isolated and lonely, returning to school can be a daunting prospect.
COVID-19 has unfortunately impacted many services and you may be asking where do I find ADHD Support online? Thankfully the foundations laid over the last year or so at ADHD Support Australia in creating an online platform to serve the ADHD community across Australia, means that during this time of social distancing and restrictions, ADHD Support can be easily accessed online, including the monthly expert speaker evenings that were previously held at Pittwater RSL.
