Description

Living with ADHD is hard. And like with most things, being Black, poor, or from any traditionally marginalized community makes it even harder—every challenge and issue are multiplied exponentially.

In these communities, ADHD is not only over diagnosed and undiagnosed, but also both overtreated and undertreated, and largely is ignored, dismissed—or even worse—ridiculed. This session will focus on strategies for addressing:

  • Where and when Stigma about ADHD occurs including within the nuclear and/or extended family
  • How diagnosis and treatment fears manifest Stigma and the impact on educational and social outcomes
  • Building an ADHD community of family, friends and the right professionals

View this must-see training to transform your treatment of ADHD marginalized clients.
