ADHD Association Services

The services of the ADHD Association are available to everyone across Iceland. The Association currently has over four thousand members, and one membership covers the entire family — as ADHD traits are often common within families.

It is estimated that up to 25,000 Icelanders live with ADHD, including around 10,000 children and 15,000 adults. A significant number of individuals have yet to receive a diagnosis or access the support that could dramatically improve their quality of life. Effective interventions could also greatly reduce societal costs related to school dropout rates, substance abuse, bullying, disability, medication use, and various health issues.

The ADHD Association offers advice, educational materials, and information to members, the general public, professionals, and public institutions, all free of charge. In addition, the Association hosts a wide range of courses, educational events, and publishes informative materials. With your support, we can strengthen and expand this important work for the benefit of all.

Join Team ADHD in the Íslandsbanki Reykjavik Marathon!

The Íslandsbanki Reykjavik Marathon takes place in August, as it does every year, with thousands of participants running to raise funds for charities across Iceland. The sponsorships collected by the runners are one of the most important fundraising efforts of the year for the ADHD Association and can have a decisive impact on our operations.

Last year, nearly 100 individuals ran with Team ADHD and together raised over one million ISK to support our work!

This year, we aim even higher. Once again, we encourage all our supporters to run under the banners of #TeamADHD, #TakkADHD, and #Snillingar.
You don't need to run far to participate — whether you choose 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, a half marathon, or a full marathon, everyone is welcome, and the whole family can join Team ADHD!

Those who run for the ADHD Association will receive a stylish running shirt as a token of our gratitude. After registering with Team ADHD at hlaupastyrkur.is, please email us at adhd@adhd.is to choose you’re thank-you gift.

Let’s join forces, run for a cause, and strengthen the ADHD Association!
