I joined Power2 as CEO in 2020. At the time, my daughter was experiencing Emotionally Based School Avoidance, and she was later diagnosed with ADHD.
“This gave me an understanding of just how difficult it is for young people and their families to navigate neurodivergence and school disengagement. I’m neurodivergent myself, so I’ve had to overcome obstacles to get to where I am now.”
I really appreciate the huge difference Power2 makes to children and young people, no matter what challenges they’re facing.
