This session explores how ADHD shows up in teenagers and how parents can best support their child through adolescence and beyond. Sarah-Jane will look at how to tell whether behaviours are linked to ADHD or something else, the potential impact on academic performance and friendships, and why getting a formal diagnosis can be so helpful. She’ll also share guidance on supporting your teen’s mental health and wellbeing as they grow into adulthood.
