Through lived experience, we support the mental health of neurodivergent people, raise awareness and save lives.
Through lived experience, we support the mental health of neurodivergent people, raise awareness and save lives.
Proper mental health support can help with emotional dysregulation and issues with executive functioning - common problems associated with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other neurodivergent conditions.
We focus on earlier, preventative support — helping people make sense of what they’re experiencing, feel less alone, and access appropriate help before distress escalates into crisis.
Many neurodivergent people struggle to regulate their emotions
Adolescents with ADHD are 2-3x more likely to self-harm1
Autistic adults without a learning disability are 9 times more likely to die from suicide2
Your help can make a difference.
Donate TodayPeople come to neurobetter for many different reasons, including:
There’s no right way to use this site, and no expectation to read everything.
You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support
Early support can matter, even when things feel manageable on the surface.
Everything we do is shaped by three connected elements:
Information: Clear, accessible explanations that help people understand their experiences and options.
Regulation: Gentle, non-clinical tools that can help reduce overwhelm and create breathing space.
Connection: Support for feeling understood and less alone, through shared understanding and careful community-building.
The neurobetter team all have lived experience of neurodivergence and mental health issues, or of supporting people who do. We are charity leaders, wellbeing specialists, researchers, and technologists.
neurobetter is not a crisis or emergency service, and we don’t provide diagnosis or therapy. We’re clear about what we can and can’t offer because clarity and safety matter — especially in mental health support.
If you’re feeling unsafe or at risk of harming yourself or someone else, please seek urgent support from emergency services or a specialist crisis service: visit our get help now page for help.
neurobetter is growing thoughtfully, with a strong focus on safeguarding, responsibility and sustainability.
