ADHD Care

The Collaborative ADHD Research and Education (CARE) network was co-founded by UCD-Academic Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Maynooth University in partnership with ADHD Ireland in September 2018.

The purpose of this collaboration is to bring together key stakeholders with the objective of improving the lives of children, teenagers and adults with ADHD in Ireland. The aim is to achieve this through enhancing understanding of ADHD across Irish society together with establishing gold standard practice among professionals.

This collaboration will facilitate stakeholders across diverse disciplines, professions and areas of expertise to work together to share and develop knowledge, promote best practice and facilitate optimal outcomes for young people and adults with this condition.
