According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 8.4% of children and 2.5% of adults in the United States have ADHD. As therapists, we often have clients who struggle with symptoms of ADHD, but we don’t always feel equipped to support them. ADHD can impact clients in many parts of their lives, including social, emotional, school/workplace, relationships and physical health. It is essential that we cultivate an understanding of how best to support our clients and their families as they navigate these challenges.
Join us for an all-day intensive training that will give you the tools to feel confident engaging with clients who have ADHD.
