Adult ADHD Clinic: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

NFHT is launching a new Adult ADHD Clinic in September of 2026. The clinic will be run by a team including a social worker, nurse practitioner, and registered nurse. Drawing on their different areas of expertise, the clinic team will offer optional ADHD assessment, diagnostic clarification, medication evaluation with treatment recommendations and a 6-week group and knowledge exchange.

To attend the clinic, you need to be 18 years or older and have a referral from your NFHT primary care provider, nurse or clinician.

The program will run on ?? afternoons at the NFHT hub from 1-3pm.

The ADHD Clinic is for NFHT rostered patients who are 18 years old or older. The clinic is open to men and women. The clinic is also available to caregivers/parents affected by ADHD.

You do not need a diagnosis to attend this clinic, an optional assessment is available. Speak to your healthcare provider if you are interested in learning more about the clinic.

Provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for adult ADHD through evidence-based care, that is equitable and readily accessible to NFHT patients.
