<p>ADHD is often thought of in terms of its symptoms and associated problems. Unfortunately, a deficit-based approach, focusing on what is wrong, can be very impairing for children and their families. However, there are so many positive qualities of ADHD that need to be celebrated! In this session, you will learn about what ADHD is, why it is awesome, and how to capitalize on its assets to promote long-term success. Important considerations and practical strategies to overcome common challenges faced by high school students with ADHD are also addressed. </p>

Happy Social Work Week!

Let’s consider how our frenetic schedules impact how we relate to children. Katherine will draw on the work of Robert Holden, Kristin Neff and others to encourage those in the helping professions to take pause and consider how we approach our work and play.

<p>Executive functioning skills are mental processes that help us tolerate change, control our emotions, resist impulses, juggle information, make a plan, and start and finish tasks. Much like an air traffic controller who manages the arrivals and departures of many aircraft on multiple runways at a busy airport, the brain needs this skill set to get things done in an organized and efficient way. In this session you will learn about these skills and their importance for both school and personal success. (Part 2 April 5, 2018)</p>
