The details of the programme are as follows:

Dave Pughe-Parry the founder of Living ADDventure (LADD®), has put together a 12 week Introductory multi-media ADHD Programme that is ideal for small groups wanting to learn more about ADHD and to help those who live with or alongside ADHD. You will learn valuable tools to manage ADHD.

Each weekly meeting is 2 hours and is run by a trained LADD® Coach or Group Leader. These groups are held either at the Coach or Group Leader's home or preferably members of the group take turns to host the weekly meetings.

The ideal size of a group is 4 - 8 members.

What are the benefits of joining a LADD® Coaching or Study Group?

We have different groups catering to the needs of the ADHD community. Couples do not attend the same group as it can become difficult to express yourself particularly if one partner is more verbal than the other.
Problems shared are problems halved
Whether you have ADHD or are a non-ADHD spouse or parent, or an Educator wanting to learn more it is good to meet and share your difficulties and of course your successes.
What is shared within the group remains within the group and no judgements are made.
It is an affordable introduction to the LADD® Coaching Programme.
Each week has a coaching element with homework.
At the end of the 12 week Introductory Programme members may opt to continue with the LADD® Coaching Programme in the Group setting at a monthly fee of R500.00
You can of course opt to do the one on one coaching programme in your own home or workplace.
Our groups are deliberately limited to a maximum of 8 members which ensures each member has an opportunity to share as they wish.
One week might see one member requiring more support than others but the Coach or Group Leader is trained to ensure that no member dominates week after week.
Meetings are not "pity parties". LADD® Coaching and Study Groups are informative, structured and directive.
Comprehensive notes are provided on a weekly basis.
Each member also receives a copy of our audio book "I'm Audacious, Original and Innovative .... I Have ADHD".
