Jersey Joins ADHD Europe: A New Chapter for Our Island

In April, ADHD Jersey officially became a member of ADHD Europe and although the moment passed quietly on the calendar, its significance is anything but quiet.

For a small island like ours, joining ADHD Europe is a major shift. It connects us directly to the leading organisations and advocates shaping ADHD policy, research and awareness across the continent. It places Jersey’s lived-experience voice into a wider conversation and gives our community access to knowledge, networks and collaboration that would have been impossible to reach alone.

Why this matters for Jersey

ADHD Europe is built on evidence, advocacy and cooperation. Their mission aligns completely with the work we’re doing here: raising understanding, challenging outdated systems, and creating fairer pathways for children, adults and families with ADHD.

By joining, we gain:

• Access to shared research and emerging best practice

• Opportunities to learn from organisations transforming ADHD support in other countries

• A platform to share our own island’s challenges and innovations

• A seat at the table where decisions, standards and strategy are shaped

For an island of our size, connection is power. It means we’re no longer working in isolation. It means the real lived experiences of Jersey families contribute to a movement bigger than us — and in turn, we can bring stronger ideas and evidence back home.

A step towards a stronger future

This membership isn’t just a badge. It’s a commitment to collaboration and to raising the standard of ADHD support on our island. It’s a way of saying: Jersey is ready to lead, ready to learn, and ready to stand alongside others working tirelessly for neurodivergent communities.

Being part of ADHD Europe strengthens our voice, our credibility and our ability to drive meaningful change. Most importantly, it strengthens what we can offer the people we serve.

This is only the beginning — and we’re excited for where this connection will take us next.
