ADHD Babes is a community group for Black Women and Non-Binary people with ADHD. We create safer spaces for us to flourish and live our lives to their greatest potential. ADHD Babes is run by us and for us, with all members of our team being from our community. We aim to empower and encourage all members to build peer support networks, share lived experiences and embrace their neurodiversity as a community. We aim to inspire and empower people with community, tools, learning and healing spaces to redefine and understand ADHD, allowing us to tackle its difficulties and utilise its strengths. We aim to create an accessible platform and safer spaces for us to connect, learn and break down the barriers that restrict our community from gaining and understanding a diagnosis of ADHD. We aim to create a society that embraces neurodiversity. We aim to raise awareness and educate people on the truth and reality of how ADHD affects neurodiverse people, and how best to support them.

Eve Earley, Empowering Change

eve earley, empowering change

We encourage participants to explore courses and workshops to gain the peer support it takes to adopt and integrate the tools and habits required to maintain momentum - over the course of a lifetime. And we’re trying to make it affordable. We have made the Storytelling Workshop available at no charge, it is included in our most affordable, Essential Membership level. Why consider membership? The programs we offer in our book-based learning approach are six, eight & twelve-week facilitated groups. Our All Access and Premium memberships offer new and returning clients a pay-as-you-go option. Why pay for a course I can do on my own? The foundation material - the books - are programs you can do yourself. The value we offer is our experience as facilitators of this material and the supportive, continuing presence of your peers. And #DontGoItAlone is more than just a hashtag - subsequent courses or workshops are deeply discounted and you are invited to revisit courses at no additional charge. When we invest in ourselves - we acknowledge that our money marks the energy of our commitment. When you’re ready to commit, we’re here - and we look forward to supporting you on your journey.
