"Good group, would love if it was longer"

About: Mental Health / Primary Care Mental Health

(as a service user),

East Renfrewshire ADHD OT SPARKS Group

It was a 7 week course. I liked the consistency of it being the same day and time every week. I liked that it was a way to touch base every week and talk about the way ADHD has affected me in general and in the previous week.

I loved being able to meet like minded people, with similar struggles and relate to them. It was a very validating experience from the facilitators and the attendees and the information shared.

The only thing I found frustrating was that obviously we all like to talk a lot so I found it difficult to get a word in sometimes and occasionally we would move on and I wouldn’t get to share my comment at all.

I would love if this group could go on for more weeks or just periodically like every month or so to come back and check in and get help if we need it.
