ADHD and Eating Disorders became part of everyone’s clinical practice, lives and communities. Inclusion means not only recognition. Inclusion in healthcare means knowledge and care for everyone. We include. We know. We care. We do it safely.
ADHD-BED Integrated group have started their journey in 2019, with a small project aiming to help people who needed assessment and treatment for ADHD, co-morbid Eating Disorders and other health needs. ADHD-BED Integrated group grew as the demand expanded. We learnt together with our patients. They learnt with us. We watched expansion of our large community of colleagues, patients and their families across the whole Australia. We are now launching our national knowledge sharing. We are excited that you are coming along, to learn and share, to support thousands of Australians who need you
