Clinical Neuropsychologist and Co-coordinator of the Sunshine Coast ADHD Network, Dr Laura Bennett, is the first to admit that ADHD network meetings don’t always move in a perfectly straight line. While befitting for a lively group prone to “bursts of laughter” and “just enough chaos to keep things interesting,” these meetings are also firmly grounded in research and clinical practice. They’re driven by the kind of collaborative thinking that is hard to replicate anywhere else, involving GPs, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists and other allied health professionals.
As ADHD and other mental health issues become increasingly visible and prevalent, the Network remains committed to promoting their joint navigation across sectors. This engaged and curious community is equally focused on sparking new perspectives, using their lived experience and multidisciplinary expertise to deepen understanding of ADHD and improve the support available to consumers and carers.
“We all willingly embrace the complexity of the field,” Laura affirms.
