ADHD Parent Programme
Parenting your Child with ADHD
Our ADHD parent group is open to Camden and Islington parents/carers of children aged 5-12 years. This group is for children with a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD but if the child is on the waiting list to be assessed we will allow parents to attend from session 2.
Parents and professionals can self-refer by email: familyservice@brandoncentre.org.uk
