About the event


ADHD Awareness Workshop for Probation Officers


Improving engagement, reducing risk, and supporting better outcomes


This practical, interactive workshop supports probation officers to better understand how ADHD affects thinking, behaviour, decision-making, and engagement with services.

Through experiential exercises that simulate aspects of living with an ADHD brain, staff will explore how impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and executive functioning differences can directly influence risk-taking and offending behaviour.


The session focuses on psychoeducation & practical strategies that can be introduced to improve communication, engagement, and compliance, ultimately supporting safer outcomes for service users and communities.


  1. Recognise how ADHD affects behaviour and decision-making, including impulsivity, emotional regulation, and executive functioning challenges linked to offending patterns.

Further Information

We recognise the current pressures on primary care in relation to all aspects of the work they do, not just in relation to ADHD.

​

The intention of this service is not to create additional workload for GPs or other practitioners, but rather to reduce pressure arising from the increasing number of patients presenting with ADHD-related difficulties.

​

The ADHD Support While Waiting Programme, early intervention service is designed specifically for adults who are awaiting ADHD assessment, awaiting follow-up from assessment, or attempting to access support. It is a non-clinical, psychoeducational and practical support programme, delivered by qualified practitioners, and aligned with NICE guidance.

​

The core aim of the programme is to:

  • Support individuals experiencing functional difficulties (e.g. executive dysfunction, emotional regulation challenges)

  • Reduce distress, overwhelm, and burnout

  • Improve day-to-day functioning and engagement with services

  • Prevent escalation into crisis or higher-tier services

  • Provide psychotherapeutic education

​

Importantly, this is not a diagnostic or assessment service, and participation does not require formal confirmation from primary care if the patient has the requested information.

 

Referral Process - 

​

To ensure minimal impact on time, we have built in multiple alternative verification pathways, including:

  • Self-referral via QR code & evidence

  • Self-declaration supported through our triage process

  • Signposting by GP practice staff

  • HSC confirmation where available

  • GP letter - A template of which we provide

​

This means that patients can access the service without any GP involvement if preferred.

​

The funding requires that the patient/service user MUST have verifiable information of having been referred and or waiting on follow up for ADHD related support.

​

This initiative to work alongside primary care and secondary care in a supportive capacity, rather than adding to existing pressures.

​

We genuinely value the role of GPs and other medical practitioners.
