ADHD Perth and Kinross Support Group. This group has been working as a “remote” service and are providing our members with ongoing services.

Under the umbrella ADHD+ Perth the group supports children, young people or adults and their families who live with the daily challenges of ADHD and other associated neuro-developmental disorders. At this time, more than ever, the levels of anxiety and fear will be impacting on the harmony within confined family groups and the group are happy to accept self-referrals from any families at this time of clear crisis. The group are offering virtual/telephone support to any adults who feel the need to talk to someone about their fears/anxieties/mental wellbeing and are reaching out to group members who maybe feel they need a regular “check-in” telephone call in absence of face-to-face meet-up. Support can be given for benefits form filling. Support options are as follows:

• Telephone Support

Please use 07545 304904 as a first point of contact - response will be channelled through the team of support workers, with recognition that some key workers may require evening telephone/virtual support.

• Online Support

Through social media platforms the group have advised members to contact us through the Group Page Messenger service or via our office email. Family Information Sessions to be delivered online if needed.
