ADHD Malta brings together parents, individuals with ADHD, educators and other professionals to advocate for better understanding, early diagnosis, and equal opportunities.

OUR MISSION: To support, empower, educate and encourage anyone dealing with ADHD and related conditions and to  encourage self advocacy.

We seek to work with all professionals such as educators in schools, healthcare providers, social workers, youth workers, mental health service providers, government entities, other NGOs  and society at large to spread research-based information on ADHD and its coexisting conditions (e.g., dyslexia, dyspraxia, Autism, anxiety, PDA, ODD, depression. We seek to empower ADHDers and their families with psychoeducation and tools to be able to self advocate.

OUR BEGINNINGS: In 1996 a group of parents of young ADHD teens seeking guidance to help their children joined forces to obtain more information about ADHD, mainly from America and the UK.  In 1998 they decided to formally set up the ADHD Family Support Group NGO and were registered as VO 41. In this way, they were able to share their knowledge with other parents, and to educate and sensitise  professionals about ADHD across the lifespan.

Over the years, as research increased and knowledge on ADHD developed further,  the NGO began assisting and supporting more and more  adult ADHDers. Services in Malta for adults are still emerging, so we try to offer  guidance, psychoeducation and a safe space.  As awareness continues to spread, more people are seeking  a diagnosis and request guidance on diagnosis, treatment options, the use of medication and strategies that help. We do not offer medical advice, but instead offer expertise gained through years of lived experience, education  and sound research.

Now known as ADHD Malta, we still  seek  to be a sound point of reference to anyone needing more information and support related to ADHD.
