ADHD treatment generally includes finding strategies to manage attention, executive functions, and emotional self-regulation. 

An ADHD coach assists people living with ADHD to develop effective strategies to make life more enjoyable.

In this Ask an ADHD Coach online session, we will look at some of the challenges your teen(s) with ADHD might face as they become more independent. ​

​We can explore how to:

  • Work with your teens to identify their strengths and challenges.
  • Provide your teens with some problem-solving approaches and the skills to help them thrive.
  • Provide you with a strengths-based approach to support and encourage your teens.
  • Empower our teens to gain independence.
     

You will have an opportunity to hear from other families, share stories, ask me your burning questions, and learn how to support your teen(s) in navigating this critical time in their life.

Topics to think about:

Gathering wisdom - what are your teen's strengths?
Growing capacity - what can we do to nurture our teen's capability?
Gaining independence - how can we empower our teens.

So bring yourself and your questions to our group session.
