More women with ADHD are seeking treatment than ever before.
This can feel daunting for many clinicians, as oftentimes women with ADHD wasn’t a topic afforded much time or training in graduate studies in previous decades.
This presentation will give you the most fundamental knowledge necessary to work competently and confidently with women with ADHD. You will deepen your own understanding of common challenges and experiences unique to women with ADHD, which will in turn allow you to deepen your practice with clients and better validate and support their therapeutic journey. This presentation aims to help clinicians feel more confident in providing ADHD-informed treatment that honours neurodiversity and expands the treatment paradigm to better represent and support women with ADHD.
