From the top of the organisation to it's members, the direction of ADHD babes is entirely controlled by members of our community.
All of our voluntary staff, workshop facilitators and therapists are a member of our community or specialise in working with us.

Support Group Facilitator
Pronouns: She/ Her
What I do for ADHD BABES: I research and put together topics of discussion that explore different facets of ADHD and how it shows up in a range of areas such as relationships, career, self esteem and mental health. I hope to reframe how we as a community perceive ourselves and navigate the world around us as neurodiverse individuals in a neurotypical society.
What my ADHD Means to me: To me, having an understanding of ADHD means having an understanding of myself and those around me. It enables me to build compassion for myself and others - it also helps me to understand how I can exist freely and use my knowledge as a guide to achieving whatever it is want to.

Podcast Producer/ Host
What you do for ADHD BABES: I'm producing the ADHD BABES podcast as well as hosting some episodes. I organise the hosts, guests and schedule, edit and publish the podcast.
What does your ADHD mean to you: My ADHD has many frustrations but the positives are also there, such as my creativity, my bubbly energy etc. Finding out I have ADHD has allowed me to really understand myself, to understand that I'm not alone and that I'll find a way for my life to work for me without so much chaos.
Fun Fact: I once got the chance to fly a small plane! Thankfully I didn't crash it and so took a flight home on a private jet.
