MAYDAY ADHD Coaching supports Canberrans who emotionally struggle to parent their children with ADHD to find joy in raising their family, says life coach and owner Helen Day.

“We officially opened on May Day 2022 and currently offer three services to build the mindset, knowledge and skills for parents with neurodiverse children,” she says.

“I have two sons with ADHD, and when my eldest was diagnosed at six-years-old, I was struggling – not only with how to support him but also with how to support myself.

“Being a woman in business means being flexible, having passion and making a difference.”

Helen says not everything will work out, so try something different.

“Do something you love, you are going to be spending a lot of time doing it, and believe that you are changing the world, it will keep you going on the hard days,” she says.

“As far as I’m aware, I am the only person providing this sort of support in Canberra, and the results talk for themselves.

“One mum who went through the Mindset course, whom I met in my office in tears because she was overwhelmed with her daughter’s needs, has now found the mental space that she needed, and regained her confidence, well-being and peace.

“Her teen, with Skills coaching, is not in a tailspin over studying for her exams, is doing her homework, and gets assignments done mostly on time.”
