ADHD Norge

What ADHD Norge does

ADHD Norge (organization number 971 259 302) is a Norwegian non-profit membership and interest organization (medlems- og interesseorganisasjon) headquartered at Storgata 10A, Oslo, dedicated to people with ADHD, their families, and professionals who work with the condition. Its vision is "a good life for everyone with ADHD." The organization operates through a nationwide network of county and local chapters (fylkes- og lokallag) that run in-person activities, courses, and gatherings for children, youth, and adults, supplemented by a peer-counselor (likepersoner) program providing one-on-one support. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership fees and donations via the 'Gi en gave' channel, with supplemental project grants from foundations and public bodies including Stiftelsen DAM, Bufdir, and Helsedirektoratet.

ADHD Norge's product portfolio centers on educational resources and community support: Uro Magasinet (a magazine for the ADHD community), Hekta på kunnskap (a free web portal for professionals working with ADHD and substance abuse co-occurrence), ABC om ADHD (an information portal for school professionals), multiple podcast series targeting teachers, youth, and adults, educational animated films (e.g., 'Med universet i kofferten', 'Skolen og ADHD'), printed brochures and books, and rights/advocacy guidance covering workplace accommodation and school support. Content is distributed across a website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter/X, email newsletters, webinars, and events such as Arendalsuka.

The organization pursues an advocacy-led, community-driven go-to-market model. It recruits members digitally via adhdnorge.no and the medlem.consio.no membership portal, through word-of-mouth and chapter activities, while engaging in policy submissions, public consultations, and media appearances to influence the Norwegian ADHD agenda. Target audiences include people with ADHD across life stages, parents and families, teachers and school staff, and healthcare professionals (GPs, psychologists, specialists). The organization is independently operated without a parent company and does not disclose financials.
