Objectives and activities The Coalition was set up with the aim of improving the lives of people in Scotland living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and their families and carers. The objectives ot the organisation are to- Provide support, education and practical advice to people living with ADHD and their families, including building the capacity of voluntary support groups across Scotland to run effective, sustainable support for people with ADHD and related conditions Advance the education of the general public in all areas relating to ADHD.. and Advocate for people with ADHD in Scodand and their families, in particular by raising awareness ofADHD across Scottish public services (including the NHS, educational establishments. local authorities, the police for and the criminal justice system} in order to improve diagnosis, treatment and support for people with ADHD and related conditions. The establishment of the Coalition reflected recognition of a number of challenges: Support for people with ADHD is patchy.
