The goal of this course is to inform and empower parents/carers to work together with their child to cope with the challenges of ADHD by passing on practical, workable strategies that will make a difference in the lives of all family members.

An environment conducive to the engagement of parents/carers through non-judgment, empathy and acceptance is a priority. Plenty of time will be allowed to discuss the home practice exercises to encourage parents/carers to support each other in putting these ideas into practice and celebrate their successes.

• What is ADHD?
• How does ADHD affect family life?
• Creating effective routines
• Developing positive relationships
• Using rewards and consequences
