ADHD - helping people to help themselves
A project from Kronengruppe e.V. in Berlin, Germany
We offer help for self-aid for people with ADHD. Self-aid cannot replace therapeutic offers, but it helps many affected people with its own unique approach. Our self-aid service is also open to people who do not yet have a diagnosis.
Already 6 donations.

About this project
Holger Münzer from Kronengruppe e.V. is responsible for this project
We at Kronengruppe e.V. organize self-help groups for ADHD sufferers in Berlin. There is currently a high demand for our services. We receive new inquiries almost every day. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to respond to many of these requests in a timely manner. We currently have four groups in Pankow and Prenzlauer Berg, and we are planning to start two more groups in November and January. In order to help more people, we need financial support.
Representative studies indicate that 2.5% - 4.7% of people in Germany suffer from ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Even at a conservative estimate, that would be over 100,000 people for Berlin.
If ADHD remains untreated, it often has serious consequences for those affected and those around them. Significant accompanying symptoms such as depression or addiction can occur, problems can arise at work, there can be disruptions in the social environment and conflicts in relationships.
Care in Berlin for those affected by ADHD is inadequate. This primarily concerns the availability of diagnostic facilities, but also of psychiatrists and therapists. Self-help can support people who have not yet received medical help, but it cannot replace it.
Self-help is a very unique approach that has a great impact on ADHD. When talking to other affected people, most participants feel a great sense of relief from the very first appointment on, as they see that they are not alone and that other people have similar problems. Sharing strategies and tips also generates a wide variety of ideas that encourage participants to make new resolutions and look for solutions every week.
Our goal for 2024 is to set up a contact point for those affected by ADHD and an office for the association.

This includes:
- An open consultation offer / online and on site
- Regular information events
- A separate group room for more flexibility when setting up new groups
- A paid project management for the sustainable development of our services
There is the possibility of funding from health insurance companies. The health insurance companies expect an own contribution in the form of other funding or donations.
The aim of this fundraising campaign is to build up this own contribution.
The funds that reach us will be used for the above-mentioned goals, regardless of whether funding from health insurance companies can be achieved.
