In the episode, Rachel talks about her own ADHD journey and how it led to starting ADHD Jersey. She and Harvey chat about the early days of the organisation, the surprising moments along the way, and the rapid growth of public support on the island. They also dive into some of the challenges still facing people with ADHD in Jersey, from long waiting times to the lack of understanding in key services.

The conversation flows through:

• What it’s really like to be diagnosed later in life

• Why community and lived experience matter so much

• The support programmes now running through ADHD Jersey

• How education, workplaces, and families can better understand ADHD

• The future vision for improving support on the island

Rachel said:

“Harvey made it so easy to talk openly. It was a great chance to share what ADHD Jersey is all about and to remind people that they’re not on their own.”

The episode is full of honest moments, plenty of laughs, and a real look at what drives the work we do at ADHD Jersey.
