Being a Parent Isn’t Easy

Navigating Parenthood when you have ADHD

Education, Processing, and Skill Building in a Supportive Group Setting

01 Normalizing the Experience

You aren’t alone! Learn with and from one another in a safe and welcoming space.

02 Repairing Self-Esteem Wounds

You aren’t lazy, “slack”, untrustworthy, or incapable. Together we will find out who you really are and the great traits that make you you!

03 Strengthening Social Skills

It’s hard to manage calm thoughts that are busy and distracted. This is even more difficult when the thoughts are anxious and overwhelmed. Together we will learn how to find your chill.

04 Emotional Regulation

Impulsivity of emotions rarely works well. We’ll explore what to do when your emotions are running high.

05 Skills for Success

You don’t have to do everything the hard way and everything you do doesn’t have to feel hard.

06 Building Your Toolbox

The tools we build will work for you. This is going to feel very different from what you have done in the past which likely looked like forcing yourself to work for the tools of a neurotypical brain.

07 Communicating and Advocating

Now that you know how amazing and talented you are, it’s time to share your light with others and transfer your skills to the “real” world.
