The ADDvance Support Group Launches!

Hi, and welcome to the ADDvance Support Group Network.

The aim of this blog and of our support groups is to get parents, of children with any form of behaviour or learning difficulty, more educated, more educated that these problems cannot be fixed with one solution, more educated on a holistic solution, more educated on the benefits of nutrition and better informed in order to make better decisions going forward.

The other aim of this blog is so that parents can know - YOU ARE NOT ALONE! There are so many of us out there and we need to all be working together to help our children to succeed and to vent our frustrations in the right places and at the right times.

My job is to facilitate this process, I have some knowledge regarding nutrition and I want to share it with all of you so that you can become better informed. This will help next time you are standing in front of a hundred different vitamin bottles and not knowing what does what for when and how.

This blog will be a place where I post any new information, particularly where Omega 3 is concerned as well as to put all of you in touch with each other, to start supporting each other through this rocky journey you now face with your children.

I am not a qualified nutrition expert nor do I claim to be one, what I have learnt, I have learnt from professionals, the internet, books and experience. If you feel that something I have said is not correct, please feel free to let me know, and together we can verify its fact or fiction as I am still learning each and every day.

Each statement / fact I say can be verified, but I do not wish this blog to be bogged down by "according to prof ABC in study DEF", so we will leave all that out and stick to the simple facts. If you want more qualified information let me know and I will refer you to the right pages where those exist for more in-depth research.

That's it for now, I look forward to meeting each of you along this journey.
