ADHD & Asperger's Service (Adult) - NHFT

NHFT's ADHD & Asperger's Service offers detailed diagnostic assessments and post-diagnosis support. They help develop coping strategies for the patient and their families, to promote independent living skills and offer support with further education and employment.

The service has many highly-skilled professionals working in its teams, including clinical psychologists, clinical nurse specialists, occupational therapists, and support workers.

Referrals can be made by GPs, members of the community mental health team, staff in social services, or appropriate members of staff from hospital wards or care units.
