Due to overwhelming interest and feedback, we are thrilled to offer Part 2 of this fascinating and insightful webinar. Our previous session was so engaging that time flew, leaving our expert speaker with a wealth of further valuable insights to share. This second instalment is an opportunity to dive deeper into the complexities of adult ADHD and explore additional strategies for managing symptoms, achieving balance, and enhancing quality of life.

Individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) find it difficult to organise their day, to focus on and stick to the task in hand, or to simply remember to keep appointments. They tend to procrastinate about important tasks and have trouble with meeting deadlines.

ADHD is associated with a higher rate of psychiatric co-morbidities (e.g. anxiety, depression, substance misuse, ASD) and when unrecognized/untreated, it can lead to lower levels of educational achievement, lower levels of employment with frequent job changes, and higher rates of relationship problems and divorce. Individuals with ADHD are more likely to be involved in serious road traffic accidents and to get in trouble with the police/law. They are more likely to experience chronic sleep problems at night and experience chronic stress and tiredness during the day, which may further impact their day-to-day functioning.

Can ADHD and the associated symptoms be treated?
Yes! In fact some people can respond positively to medication in just 30 minutes! This fascinating and insightful webinar will discuss the treatment strategies available for this highly treatable condition.

Nick Wallis, who published a book detailing this scandal, will take you through the jaw dropping facts of one of the UK’s most significant miscarriages of justice.

Over a 20 year period, sub-postmasters complained about bugs in the Horizon system. However, The Post Office prosecuted 736 branch managers, at the rate of one a week for false accounting. Many lost their homes, savings, jobs and friends. Some went to prison, three committed suicide. In 2019 a High Court ruling found that the Horizon system was indeed floored. When The Post Office had found out the system was flawed, they covered it up.

In April 2021, the Court of Appeal quashed the convictions of 39 former sub-postmasters and ruled their prosecutions were an affront to the public conscience. Since then, a further 550 have been quashed, but even now hundreds of victims have received no compensation and no one has been held accountable.

Research suggests about 20% to 50% of parents will have thoughts of harming their baby at some stage, especially in the first few weeks of life. For the vast majority, this will remain just a thought – most likely an intrusive, unwanted one at that. However, some will find themselves hurting their child deliberately, perhaps causing serious harm and even death. The question is why?

This webinar explores areas such as maternal mental health, post-partum psychosis, personality factors, sleep deprivation, physical health, relationship issues and attachment, along with the meaning of the child to the parent.
