The Black community urgently needs tools to support children with ADHD. There aren't enough resources and support systems to help these children thrive in school. Many parents also lack awareness of how to foster their children's success. As a community, we must raise more awareness about the intersection of Black identity and ADHD.
I've shared several videos and articles about Black identity and ADHD to enhance our understanding of this crucial topic. You're welcome to share your information with us anytime by email, and we'll update our website. We're always eager to update and share new information with our community.
