Name
Understanding ADHD in Girls & Women – A Comprehensive Approach to Wellness
Description
This 2-hour professional session delves into biological, psychological and cultural dimensions of living with ADHD for females. In light of the latest research on life expectancy, diagnostic trends and biological influences, the presenters will offer evidence-based tools to assist in assessment and diagnosis. Participants will gain insights into how ADHD manifests across different life stages and the psycho/social/cultural implications of living as a neurodivergent girl or woman. Innovative strategies to navigate these particular challenges, often compounded by stress, will expand the range of treatment interventions for attendees. Using an intersectional lens, we will facilitate discussions about the impact of societal expectations, interpersonal relationships and shame on girls and women with ADHD. With this integrated approach, participants will leave with practical, effective tools to provide comprehensive care that improves the overall well-being of their patients and clients.
