ADHD Meets Menopause addresses a critical and under-recognised need within our community. Our goal is to provide accessible, meaningful, and evidence-informed support to women navigating a particularly vulnerable stage of life.

This programme has the potential to create lasting positive change, not only for participants but for their families, workplaces, and wider communities.

Benefits: Participants will gain

• Understanding and validation of ADHD and menopausal symptoms
• Improve daily life by supporting executive function challenges with strategies
• Strengthen emotional well-being
• Reduce shame and self-blame
• Build Connection and Community

Groups are intentionally kept small to create community and support.

The course will cover:

1. ADHD 101: an overview of how the ADHD brain works and executive function challenges

2. Menopause 101: an overview of hormonal, physical, and emotional changes and how hormonal changes can amplify ADHD traits - why things may feel harder

3. Self-Compassion and Self-Care: practical ways to support energy, emotions and the nervous system during hormonal changes

4. Strategies: practical, realistic tools to help memory, organisation, overwhelm, and mood

5. There will be a session just for your cohort 4 weeks after the course has ended, checking in with you. 

The course will include:

• Psychoeducation
• Practical, actionable tools
• Reflection opportunities
• Group discussion to foster connection
• Reduce isolation and foster a sense of belonging
