What we do
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a group of behavioural symptoms that include inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
Surrey Positive Parenting aims to support parents/carers of children (6-18 years old) who have a diagnosis of ADHD or if their young person shows ADHD behviours. This support and advice is delivered in an 8 week programme online, during school hours, or in the evenings. We ca deliver this in person at Surrey schools - schools need to enquire about this offer.
We support parents/carers by helping them to:
•gain confidence and skills as parents when living with a child with ADHD
•exploring how positive parenting is beneficial to the family as a whole
•discuss strategies for effective behaviour management
•have the opportunity to meet with other parents
•understanding the importance of clear communication for a child with ADHD
We have two skills building programmes, The Parent Factor in ADHD is for parents/carers of children that have an ADHD diagnosis (8 week skills building programme) and the Nurturing Programme, delivered with ADHD as a clear focus, is for those parents/carers awaiting a diagnosis for their child (8 week skills building programme).
Parents and carers can also access advice and guidance from this service, 365 days per year from 5-10.30pm by calling 0300 222 5755. No referral is necessary to access this Out of Hours Helpline.
