New adult ADHD support service launching 1 July 2026

A new adult ADHD non-clinical support service will be available from 1 July 2026 for people living in Lancashire and South Cumbria.

The service is delivered by ADHD North West and offers practical support, education, and peer connection for adults who are experiencing ADHD-related challenges.

It is designed to work alongside existing NHS services and can support people before, during, or after an ADHD assessment or diagnosis.

Who can access the service?

You can access this service if you are aged 18 or over and:

  • Are waiting for an ADHD assessment or treatment
  • Have already received an ADHD diagnosis
  • Experience challenges that may be linked to ADHD traits (with or without a diagnosis)
  • Would like practical support to improve wellbeing, organisation, and daily life

You do not need a diagnosis to get help.

What support is available?

The service offers a structured programme of online group sessions, covering topics such as:

  • Understanding ADHD in adulthood
  • Managing time, organisation, and daily tasks
  • Emotional wellbeing and regulation
  • Building healthy routines and self-care
  • Understanding treatment options
  • Communication and relationships
  • Confidence and self-esteem

Sessions are led by trained facilitators, including people with lived experience of ADHD, and follow a neuro-affirmative and trauma-informed approach.

You will also have opportunities to connect with others through peer support, helping to reduce isolation and share experiences.

How can this service help?

The programme aims to:

  • Improve understanding of ADHD
  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Support day-to-day functioning and wellbeing
  • Reduce isolation and stigma
  • Help people make informed decisions about care and treatment

By offering support early, the service helps people access the right help at the right time.
