October marks ADHD Awareness month.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people’s behaviour.
It is known as a neurodevelopmental condition – meaning parts of the brain that control emotions, learning, self-control and memory can be affected.
There’s lots to learn on this topic, and so before the campaign toolkit is published, we’d love for WI members to attend our webinar on Friday 21st October at 1pm.
You’ll have the chance to hear from some fantastic speakers followed by a Q&A session where you can ask your questions. Don’t worry if you aren’t able to attend – the webinar will be recorded!

This will be the first in a series of webinars designed to offer WI members an overall understanding of ADHD before the toolkit is published.
The second webinar will take place on Friday 11th November and will offer members an overall understanding of autism in women and girls. Members will have the chance to hear from expert speakers and learn more about autism in women and girls.
The WI would like to hear from members with experience of autism and/or ADHD, including late diagnosis.
If you would like to be contacted by The WI to share your experience, email pa@nfwi.org.uk
