You've got a client on your caseload where ADHD is listed somewhere in the middle of a string of other diagnoses, and nobody in staffing is really talking about it.
Maybe the parents came in expecting you to fix their kid. Maybe it's an adult client who can't stick to the plan you build together, and you can't understand why. ADHD gets treated as a footnote, one item on the list, an afterthought when it's often the thing shaping the entire clinical picture.
This training is for generalists so they can use ADHD as a lens instead of an add-on.
What to Expect
What the DSM-5 says and doesn't say.
A couple of neurological frameworks you can turn around and explain to a client or a parent in plain language. Not to sound smart, but because psychoeducation is an intervention.
What the research says therapy can and can't do, including what the evidence supports for medication, therapy, and the combo.
Language you can use this week with parents and adult clients to reduce shame and change how families respond to what they're seeing.
Who This Is For
Licensed and associate professional counselors, and other mental health professionals working in generalist settings with clients who have ADHD across the lifespan. Especially useful if you work in community mental health or anywhere ADHD shows up alongside complex, multi-diagnosis presentations.
