About this Event
Audience
Mental health practitioners seeking foundational knowledge and skills for working with young people with ADHD and mental health difficulties.
Overview
ADHD is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders, typically emerging before age 12, and can significantly impact a young person’s participation in school, family, and community life. This evidence-based, experiential workshop (e.g., role plays) explores the aetiology, screening, assessment, diagnosis, and intervention strategies for ADHD, with a strong focus on collaboration with families, schools, and support services to improve outcomes.
