Thriving Through Intersection: Black Identity, ADHD, & Culturally Responsive Care
Description
Black people with ADHD often live at the intersection of racialized expectations, neurodivergent stigma, and systemic exclusion. From late diagnoses and chronic masking to burnout and biased care, their experience is rarely acknowledged in traditional ADHD spaces. This 2-hour session centers those realities and invites ADHD coaches, therapists, educators, and providers to better understand and support Black clients.
Led by Black clinicians, educators, and coaches with lived experience, the session explores how cultural identity, systemic bias, and workplace dynamics shape ADHD diagnosis, treatment, and performance. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the lived experience, plus practical tools for applying culturally responsive care in ADHD support spaces.
This session blends personal narratives, clinical insight, and interactive activities. Attendees will gain frameworks for equity-driven care, reflect on their own biases and assumptions, and leave with concrete strategies to affirm, not pathologize, Black identity within ADHD contexts.
This is not just a conversation. It’s a call to action for ADHD professionals who are ready to deepen their cultural responsiveness and show up differently for Black clients and colleagues.
