New ADHD counseling center in Soest: Offers for those affected are booming!

The ADHD counseling center in Soest has reorganized itself and can look back on an enormous increase in demand. With the new address at Immermannwall 25, the facility not only offers individual consultations, but also group offers for those affected and their relatives. Head of the advice center, Jan Grobfeldt, who works as a social worker and educational scientist, observes that inquiries have increased from 20 to 50 per month. “There is something going on,” says Grobfeldt, who is planning to create an ADHD center in Soest. This measure is urgently needed due to the enormous demand.

The counseling center's range of services includes, among other things, support in self-organization, the development of daily routines and the control of anger and impulsivity. The new group offerings for parents, which are designed to help them control their children's impulses, are particularly well received. Another new addition is psychotherapist Nadine Bungardt, who will help reduce long waiting times for therapeutic services. The ADHD advice center has set itself the task of becoming a contact point for diagnostics, therapy and pedagogy for those affected of all ages.

Collaborations and support

“We have great partners at our side,” emphasizes Grobfeldt. The advice center cooperates with numerous educational institutions, schools, daycare centers, residential groups and life support centers. There is also a collaboration with a neurological practice at the EVK specialist center in Lippstadt. These networks are crucial to ensuring comprehensive care for children and adolescents with ADHD.

Parents also often feel insecure when their children are diagnosed with ADHD. It is therefore important that they have the opportunity to integrate their skills into everyday life through advice. Parental work plays a central role because the emotional bond has a major influence on the children's thinking and behavior. The professionals, including educators and teachers, often have little time to work with the children. This is where the ADHD advice center comes in and offers valuable information and tips for everyday life to support parents.

All about ADHD

ADHD, characterized by symptoms such as inattention, overactivity and impulsivity, is an issue that is increasingly coming into focus. The Central ADHD Network has set itself the goal of improving the care of children, young people and adults with ADHD nationwide. Information platforms that are aimed at both professionals and those affected and their relatives provide a comprehensive picture of the disease. These platforms are not only a valuable source of information, but also a link for everyone who needs support.

The waiting time and supply crisis has highlighted the urgency for facilities like the ADHD counseling center. The health insurance companies cover some of the costs, with the Techniker Krankenkasse covering up to 80 percent. The need, especially among children and young people, is exorbitantly high. Grobfeldt and his team have a good knack for meeting the challenges that this situation brings with it.
