The community don’t know how lucky they are to have you! I really wish we lived closer so we could attend your amazing speaker evenings.

I left the talk feeling energised and positive! It was good to feel that all of our hard work and patience was going to be rewarded and that good things are in our futures. I will keep an eye on your calendar for upcoming sessions.

Keep up the great work. Very impressive.

Thanks for your fantastic efforts to educate our parents. It really does make a difference!

I learned so much last night and am looking forward to attending many more speaker evenings. Thank you for helping families of ADHD children, it would be so much harder without ADHD Support Australia. Very, very much appreciated.

This is an exceptionally well-run group. The speaker evenings are informative and we are always kept informed of what's on in the community.

Thanks for all the work that you do, I personally think it is amazing, and you have built up a fantastic resource for ADHD families.

YOU and the meetings have been the best support! I am indebted to you.

You’re doing an amazing job helping so many parents navigate the challenges of ADHD! Your efforts are really appreciated.

I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed the speaker evenings over the years and how helpful the information has been for my teaching position and personal life. I am looking forward to attending many more sessions. The effort you put in to supporting parents and members of the community is amazing! It's so comprehensive and well-organised and I want to acknowledge that and thank you for it.

Thank you for the talk on ADHD & Anxiety tonight, I went away feeling comforted to know that there are obviously so many other parents out there battling with the same issues that we deal with on a day-to-day basis and that we're not alone.

When I didn’t know what to do next or where to go, I found you, your parenting course and speaker nights and I could relax knowing I was gaining the knowledge I needed to travel this unexpected road with my family. 100% open minded with regards to medication I have never felt any judgement only support and encouragement to keep trying. Meeting other parents who understand has been invaluable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Vivian.

These talks are a great resource for all parents, even if your child does not have ADHD. The speakers are well selected, well informed and provide meaningful and practical recommendations for some challenging situations. I recommend the benefits of attending and joining this organisation to many parents I see.

I just wanted to say what a wonderful and informative talk it was last night from Helen Padarin, I thoroughly enjoyed it and could’ve listened to her share her knowledge and perspective for hours! Well done and thank you to all involved for making these speaker evenings possible.

Vivian Dunstan has done an extraordinary job establishing ADHD Support Australia. My journey would have been so different without all the information and support that Vivian has provided. We are very fortunate that professionals such as Ian Wallace are so generous with their time sharing their knowledge to help us understand more about our children.

Thank you for helping families of ADHD children, it would be so much harder without ADHD Support Australia. Very, very much appreciated.

You’re doing an amazing job helping so many parents navigate the challenges of ADHD! Your efforts are really appreciated!

I have found ADHD Support Australia so helpful. The parenting course, the speakers, the special events and the website have been great resources. It has also been wonderful to connect with other people in the ADHD community. Vivian is so knowledgeable and helpful and caring. I consider myself very fortunate to have found this group and that it is on the Northern Beaches!

The speaker evenings are invaluable. Sometimes you might only pick up one tip, other times a dozen new strategies. But I always come away knowing that I am not alone and wanting to rush home and hug my child!

If your child has ADHD you need to get along to these fab speaker evenings!

The Ian Wallace talk was very informative for myself as a parent of an ADHD child and also being a teacher I was given some great strategies to use in the classroom.

I just wanted to say Thank You!! After attending one of your recent speaker sessions at Pittwater RSL, my daughter has had an assessment through the Child Development Clinic (Dr Yeoh/Jessica Staniland) and now has a formal diagnosis for her ADHD, ASD & Anxiety. It has taken many years to get to this point (and several countries) and we can't thank you enough for putting us in touch with the right people in our new country of residence. Keep up the good work - you are amazing and a valuable resource to local families. We are eternally grateful.

I would not have survived the last 5 years without your Support Group! You are very much appreciated!

Both my sons have been diagnosed with ADHD, my oldest inattentive, youngest hyperactive/impulsive. I have found the work you do to be invaluable to me as a mum and teacher. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your ongoing efforts to share and support families and educators in this field.

Our journey is still ongoing, but it's down to you providing information so families can access help and support that really makes a difference to so many lives.

What a wonderful resource you have created for us parents who are trying to support our children! Thank you very much!!

Amazing. I’m so grateful as a parent

Excellent. Claire is a wonderful presenter and extremely knowledgeable. She presented as warm and approachable.

Fantastic - very positive and helpful. There are soo many opportunities out there for our kids. We just need to look outside the box and seek support. Thank you

Great! very helpful and lots of good tips and suggestions for when we are getting nowhere with discussions at home on post Year 12

Fantastic. Practical directions to discuss with my year 11 child. I always worry about what comes after school. Thank you for organising.

Loved it, my partner with ADHD listened in on the first hour which is a record. It really helped clarify where we need to put more effort in, but also was a nice reminder of how far we've come.

Fantastic. First time attending. I will sign up for membership and continue to watch these presentations.

I enjoyed it. A lot of great information. A lot of tough pills to swallow

It was excellent, so informative, relatable and well delivered. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

Great. An absolute revelation to hear myself described, I didn't realise I was such a cliche! Well worth taking an early lunch from work for.

Loved it. I found it validates steps that we are already taking, but also gave many discussion topics for my partner and I.

Absolutely fantastic, will be getting my partner to view it on Patreon, thanks!

Absolutely excellent talk - Ari Tuckman was very deeply informed on the topic, communicated succinctly & so helpfully. He has a genuine care for people. So great.

Great talk - good insights and some helpful ADHD Life strategies to make relationships better.

Amazing knowledge imparted. Affirming in a wonderful way - did not feel pathologizing.

It was well worth it and a very poignant topic for us as a household.

AMAZING this has opened up so so much hope for me and my family for a happier future for my son with ADHD ODD

Excellent and very clear, so much to take in ...thought Kirsty was very approachable and positive in her approach and very knowledgeable...liked the real life anecdotes...

Great -- very informative. Opened up a whole new world of microbiomes to investigate. My daughters and probably myself all have gut issues to investigate.

Very informative and I am more aware how gut health makes a significant difference

Great, so much to cover, it did feel like we'd scratched the surface. Well worth attending

Thank you so much for organizing. This was my first time, and I found it very valuable. The information was clear, and I loved that it was strength-based info rather than a deficit emphasis.

Brilliant. I could have sat and learned all day. Both wonderful speakers with so much knowledge I could hardly put my pen down to get down all the great quotes, references, and professionals' names.

Liked the focus on positive aspects of ADHD - very affirming. Also outsourcing and coaching for some of the organizational things we are not so good at. Great questions and responses.

Very informative, great speaker, first time I have heard ADHD spoken of positively.

Vivian's Q and A very informative. I knew that blue light is bad for sleep hygiene, but you explained why (as bright as midday sun). Lots of other very helpful explanations too!

It's so wonderful hearing from experts and getting to understand who I am better. I am learning so much, and it makes me feel much better about myself.

Informative. Covered lots of topics. Great ideas in the chat.

Really enjoyed. Great coverage of the medication and myths, and great to hear about the aspects of perimenopause and hormone effects.

The speaker was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered valuable and practical information.

She did cover excellent new topsoils that included hormones and different sides of medication. The library resource looks excellent

I thought it was excellent! I felt teary and validated at times!

Amazing! Dr Grocott is always warm and informative. We are lucky to get these opportunities to Listen to her speak.

Always excellent to hear that the stigma of ADHD is reducing. Even with doctors.

It was very engaging and informative. Dr Dianne Grocott did an amazing job. Thanks for organising this Vivian. It was an honour to be in your presence.

In 35 years as a clinical psychologist, probably the best I've ever heard!

This talk was amazing. The presenter was very knowledgeable and the information was backed up with research! This has given me lots to consider in my clinical practice.

Excellent. Loved it all.

Informative and practical

I thought it was helpful, liked the strategies. Made me think about new approaches to issues.

Engaging and informative. Thank you.

Thanks Jamie - so much help - much appreciated your fulsome answer to my question about my young adult son

Thanks for a wonderful presentation and a fabulous response to my question. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this evening’s talk. Well hosted and fascinating presentation.

Dr Lim gave an amazing talk, and covered the topic well! Would love to join his talk again!

Very interesting and well timed, as I've only recently started to link the childhood trauma of my adopted ADHD son to his ADHD symptoms.

Great talk, lots of examples to back up clinical knowledge

Very informative and interesting. I liked that Dr. Terry provided case studies and that he provided his honest clinical opinions, followed by his reasoning behind them.

Fantastic. Lovely to see a young psychiatrist with a very client-centered outlook and a non-rigid one also. Thank you.

Great insights into ADHD and Trauma by Dr. Lim, really enjoyed that he made it simple to understand and follow, especially the window of regulation

Brilliant. Terry was amazing. Would love to hear from him again soon.

Very insightful and was very informative in a positive way. I love the way he and his clinic works with the patients to find the causes and deal with what is a major issue for them.

Really appreciated hearing from Dr Charlie Teo.

Very good. I suspect I have ADHD and I am in the process of being tested.

Excellent. Science-based. Good strategies in point form.

I love Russell Ramsay! Great examples and so tailored to ADHD.

Excellent - am off to buy the workbook 🙂

It was great. As a person has just discovered what has caused me so many issues over the years it was great to finally connect that it is not my fault or failure & that I can work towards having tools.

I found it informative. I am a female adult with a recent diagnosis of ADHD. I am interested in getting as much information as possible.

Many of the topics discussed are relatable, which certainly helps to focus on and take away strategies to get through everyday things, moving forward.

This is one of the most helpful talks I have ever heard, along with those by R Barkley and E Hallowell. I have listened to hundreds of podcasts. Highly informative, well delivered, evidence based.

Really great to know I'm not alone in the struggle and others have very similar experiences.

I thought it was invaluable. Thank you, Russ Ramsay.

Excellent. Enlightening, validating, and reassuring that I am not alone with these frustrating behaviors.

I found it very accurate from the shared stories of lived experience with ADHD.

Fantastic explains who I am and why I do what I do - so many resources to look into for help.

It was great to feel understood and given practical tools to use and pointed to resources.

Excellent - insightful - learned really valuable change behavior which I will take with me - Never done writing - just reach the deadline - YES YES YES!!!!!

That was amazing! So clear and succinct. Can’t wait to use these strategies on myself but also with my clients within my OT practice! Thank you so much Craig, and thank you for organising, Vivian.

The slides were schematic and practical. Thank you!

Thank you Craig. Very grateful! Empathy, strategies, and help seeking- all good!

Today’s presentation has been incredibly helpful for myself and will benefit my family and work role. Very practical and well presented in the quality of the slides, both presenters VERY down to earth, engaging and helpful. I am glad that the adolescents and adult experience have been combined in this presentation. So much goes across these age groups. An amazing and beneficial morning, thanks so much!

Thank you for such a clear and succinct presentation. Very helpful!

Thank you very much! Great presentation.

Thank you! This session was great and absolutely relatable in every way.

The presenter was knowledgeable and provided useful information.

Excellent! Craig was informative, engaging, clear, and succinct.

Excellent speaker. His knowledge and ability to hit the nail on the head across many idiosyncrasies that I connected with was very reassuring in a way that I haven't come across before.

Really interesting and extremely well organised and presented. Wonderful guest presenter.

Impressive!

Amazing, very informative.

Loved It!

Wonderful, very informative which gave me information of where to look for resources.

A wonderful , engaging and comprehensive talk.

Interesting and useful to understand what the research says.

Really good & informative.

Very worthwhile and informative especially the videos of what not to and what to do in social settings.

Insightful.

Awesome! Surpassed my expectations.

It was good and had ideas I hadn't thought of.

A wonderful opportunity to learn simple strategies and self talk. Also such a calming presenter.

Very informative with practical ideas.

It was very interesting and the speaker was great.

It was interesting to see what I already do in my space to cope and how this can be improved. I liked how the presentation was interactive, to see the changes and the hints with communication.

Fantastic. So inspiring. Great to see Cecilia talk with a different audience.

Great talk!

Very informative, comprehensive, easy to follow and understand. Thank you!

Excellent talk, and lovely examples of issues discussed that keep it simple and clear.

Excellent!

Very clearly spoken, great pace.

It was very informative.

Thanks to this fantastic chat, I found it practical, helpful and got so many take-aways as a mother and as a professional.

Fabulous if I had known about ADHD when my kids lived @ home, 2 had binging & anorexia, I hadn't heard of ADHD in 2000. This is what I searched for back then sadly I found little.

It was very useful to understand more about intuitive eating. Whilst our experience isn't binge eating, it was still useful to understand how him avoiding foods is part of 'restrictive' eating cycle.

Excellent. Well prepared, sound knowledge and delivered in a non-judgmental and empathic manner.

Loved the validation that ADHDers have issues with food.  Helps to not feel like a failure.

I liked the  interaction and that  I was confronted about my current thinking and experience. I didn't know what restricting was doing to my eating behaviours.

It was very informative.

Fantastic and interesting, and I absolutely can relate to what was presented and discussed.

Super helpful, very relevant and validating - thank you!

Fantastic talk, realistic and easy strategies given.

Fantastic! Relatable, accessible and safe.

Really useful. I hadn't really thought about my impulsive spending or habitual spending like coffee.

It was interesting to think about where I get my values and ideas around money.
