East Renfrewshire ADHD OT SPARKS Group

I took part in the sparks group. It was great to get contact with other people living locally who have adhd in a space that was focused on sharing and hearing about experiences but also guided by people with expertise. 

I’m grateful for it. It would be great to build in a follow ups with the group down the line. Maybe a meeting every few months just to check in and talk about challenges and successes to continue that sense of sharing that’s been garnered over the last 7 weeks. 

Name badges would be nice, to remember people.

The acoustics of the room were not the best.

Good morning SunsetTree

My name is Debbie Donachie and I am the Operational Nurse Manger for mental health & recovery services for East Renfrewshire HSCP.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the Sparks ADHD Occupational Therapy group! It’s great to hear that you found value in connecting with others who share similar experiences along with the guidance from Anna and Paul.

We appreciate your feedback and are continually seeking ways to provide support to individuals with ADHD through the initial group but also considering how we can provide future support.

Name badges are a fantastic suggestion too, I will pass this on to Anna and Paul.

I appreciate your feedback about the acoustics as well and I’m sure we can consider options for improving this for future groups.

Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback.
