Women Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD)

About the Event

The number of women diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ADHD continues to increase. Women juggle many life responsibilities and demands, often posing multiple daily challenges for them.

Living with ADHD can impact all facets of life, including employment, finances, education, motherhood, and other relationships. In addition, for women navigating life with ADHD this can be further challenged by the presence of other co-occurring conditions.

This webinar training will discuss a framework to understand the unique complexities and journeys that women with ADHD often encounter. Ethical considerations, interventions, strategies, and resources to support women with ADHD and their loved ones will be discussed.

This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
