ADHD - June: Chat at the library

In collaboration with the Adult ADHD Melbourne Facebook page run by Raymond, we will again be piggybacking off a regular event that Ray has been organising on the second Saturday of the month for a decade. Since mid-2023, it has been at the meeting room of East Melbourne Library.

Ray’s usual format is to set a topic (for January, it was ‘The future is ours’; for June, it will be ‘Masking: What is it, why do we do it, and what are the consequences?’), get everyone to form small groups of under half a dozen people to discuss it, then come back to a plenary session to share what we think. It’s not tightly moderated, and people end up largely just chatting to make friends, ask how people found out they had ADHD and what resources have worked for them, etc.

There is a break during which we can use the kitchenette to help ourselves to tea and biscuits.

There are always both regulars and people who are trying the meeting out for the first time, often having been recently diagnosed. Our meetup is after library closing time. Raymond has the keys. Please come at 1:50 p.m., and the presentation will start at 2 p.m. Try to be on time, but better late than never.

This is the last library event that will be organised via Something To Add. For future library events, make sure you join Adult ADHD Melbourne on Facebook. For our other events, join Something To Add on Facebook.
