Brought to you by ADHD NZ and Brett Harrington

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 series of online sessions, we will look at some of the challenges your teen(s) with ADHD might face as they become more independent. ​

We will explore how you can:

• work with them to identify their strengths and weaknesses
• provide them with some problem-solving approaches and the skills to help them thrive, and
• provide you with a strengths-based approach to support and encourage your teens. 

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. 

Join us from 1 pm to 2 pm to Ask an ADHD Coach any broad or specific questions on the following topics and dates.
