Our founder, Anna Redgrave has been dedicated to helping those with ADHD long before it reached mainstream awareness. In 2015, when she graduated with First Class Honours in Psychology, she told the NZ Herald "I would like to inspire others to embrace their difference, not only look at the negatives, but seek out how they might be turned into positives," she said. Luckily, for our community, she’s worked non stop on her mission ever since. You can read Anna’s story in the NZ Herald.
