Hi, I am Robert Wei, founder of Focus to Thrive, a youth-led organization aiming to advocate and empower teens and ADHD youth.
In a world overflowing with information and misinformation, I see the injustice of a lack of resources and awareness around youth focus and mental well-being. As a teenager, I have faced focus challenges, emotional instability, and the natural hurdles of a developing brain. Over time, I turned to online resources and books to develop strategies that helped me overcome these challenges.
By following routines, using planners and digital reminders to stay organized, and practicing mindfulness techniques, I improved my focus and emotional regulation. Through these experiences, I realized that with a growth mindset and perseverance, these skills can be learned and mastered. This experience inspired me to launch "Focus to Thrive" to help more people.
​
Worldwide, around 2% to 5% of adults experience ADHD symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Diagnose among teenagers keep increasing. Currently, there is a noticeable gap in accessible peer support groups specifically tailored to teens. I believe that while external support is vital, empowering young people to take responsibility for their own challenges is key to thriving.
​​
Please share our mission with others and help expand our impact by connecting us with schools, organizations, and ADHD communities.​ We look forward to working with many of you in the coming years to empower youth, foster inclusive communities, and create sustainable solutions that address focus and mental well-being challenges.
