About this workshop

For many adults with ADHD, home can feel like the place where life becomes most overwhelming. Clutter builds up, routines can be difficult to maintain, unfinished projects accumulate, and even simple household tasks can sometimes feel exhausting.

Despite trying organisational tips, routines and productivity hacks, many people continue to feel stuck, frustrated and unsure where to begin.

In this practical, in-person workshop, Senior Occupational Therapist Ailís O’Dea from Anchor Therapy will take a different approach. Rather than focusing solely on getting organised, the workshop will help you understand why aspects of home life can be difficult with ADHD before exploring realistic strategies that work with your ADHD brain.

The aim is not to change everything at once, but to identify what matters most to you and develop practical, achievable ways of making home life feel more manageable.
