Talk in Nantwich to explore ADHD, wellbeing and lived experience

A new talk at the Nantwich Youth & Community Centre will focus on ADHD, its impact on daily living, and ways to improve health and wellbeing.

The event, on Tuesday May 12th from 7pm to 8pm, will be led by Andy Stone, who brings both lived experience and extensive personal study of ADHD and autism.

The talk is designed to offer a clearer understanding of ADHD as a neuro-developmental condition that affects more than attention.

Attendees will learn practical strategies for managing ADHD in daily life, discover how the condition can shape emotional regulation, motivation, behaviour, relationships, and everyday experiences, and gain insight into the unique strengths that come with a different way of thinking.

Andy will share his journey growing up undiagnosed, battling addiction and mental health challenges, and rebuilding his life through education, recovery, and practical lifestyle changes.

Now, more than 10 years sober, he holds a Guinness World Record after completing 70 triathlons in 75 days.

Andy now mentors young people in alternative education settings and has created an eight-part ADHD wellness course to help people work with their ADHD rather than against it.

The talk will also show how traits often linked to ADHD: creativity, curiosity, spontaneity, and risk-taking, become strengths when you understand and channel them.

Andy demonstrates this through his own career, having worked as a professional shark diver in extreme environments, highlighting where these qualities can lead.

This event may be especially useful for young people aged 12 and over with ADHD, adults with ADHD, parents and carers, educators and youth workers, and anyone interested in neurodiversity and mental health.

A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.

Advance booking is recommended. Tickets available here.
