Understanding the ADHD Brain: A Practical Approach for Parents and Carers

Program Overview

Parenting the ADHD Brain is an evidence-based, clinician-led program designed to equip parents and caregivers with strengths focused & neuro-affirming strategies to support their child. Participants will gain new understanding and perspective shifts, translating into practical strategies to use at home. 

During the online program, we’ll explore how the ADHD brain can affect attention, emotion regulation and behaviour. Tools focus on how parents can implement effective communication, connection, boundaries and co-regulation. Sessions are supportive and provide strategies you can use straight away.
