Understanding & Managing ADHD: A Group Program for Parents of Children Ages 6-12
Join us for our new program that focuses on educating parents about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its effects on children’s daily behavior. Vanessa Sinclair, LPCC-S, provides parents with current information and specific strategies to tackle common challenges faced by children with ADHD. Additionally, the program teaches parents how to advocate for their children effectively. The overall aim is to enhance parent-child interactions, reduce family stress, and empower parents to better manage their child’s ADHD, helping the child succeed. This approach is beneficial alone or alongside medication management, leading to improved outcomes for the family.
