“I’ve found the Reading peer support group really helpful. It’s good to be able to share our experiences and insights with each other. The people are lovely, and I’ve really enjoyed making new friends, and the social aspects of the group too.” – member
“I always look forward to attending this group. There’s a balance, it’s informal, welcoming, yet structured and supportive. Honesty and rawness is definitely in order. You feel free to talk about, express, reveal/expose the True You…. in a safe environment. It’s amazing that at times, someone else is telling my story!!!
And listening to others, I find they explain the exact things that I sometimes struggle to articulate. It enables me to learn and understand more about the experience and complexity of life being ADHD. Most importantly I feel understood!!!” — Marshie a regular attendee
