Mission Statement
ADHD Babes is a community group for Black Women and Non-Binary people with ADHD.
We create safer spaces for us to flourish and live our lives to their greatest potential.
OUR FOUR APPROACHES
ADHD Babes is run by and for us. All team members are from our community. We aim to empower and encourage all members to build peer support networks, share lived experiences, and embrace their neurodivergence as a community.
We aim to inspire and empower people with community, creativity, tools, explorative learning, joy-centred and healing spaces to redefine and understand our lives with ADHD, allowing us to manage its difficulties and utilise its strengths.
We aim to create an accessible platform and resources for us to connect, explore and learn about our experience of living with ADHD and break down the barriers that restrict our community from gaining a clinical diagnosis.
We aim to create a society that embraces neurodiversity and the social model of disability. We strive to raise awareness and educate people on the truth and reality of how ADHD affects neurodivergent people and how best to support them.
Vision Statement
We imagine an equitable society where race, gender and disability are simply characteristics to celebrate difference, and all members of our community are free to live a life of value by their standards. Our vision is to live in a world where Black disabled Women and Non-binary folk are free from discrimination, racism, sexism and ableism, where barriers restricting us from access to care, support, joy and peace are removed, and we are resourced to live in self-actualised freedom.
