Below the Surface of ADHD: 3-Part Workshop Series
Target audience: This workshop is aimed towards adults with ADHD who are either late-diagnosed or are interested in a different perspective from the typical medical model of ADHD.
*Part 3 is geared towards women/AFAB (assigned female at birth), though is open to all genders. It is also lays groundwork well for participation in ADHD Moms Group that begins in December 2023.
What to expect:
The format of this workshop will be mostly instructional with prompts for self-reflection and discussion. Active participation is welcome, though not required, so you may use the workshop as an observant note-taking learner, inquire questions during designated discussion points, whatever is most comfortable for you. In the absence of discussion, I will elaborate on different perspectives of the specific topic.
Instructional periods will be recorded, but recording will be turned off for discussion periods to cultivate a sense of safety and comfortability. You may ask questions during instructional periods in the chat, and I will field them in real time. Below is a proposed general outline for each workshop, though we may detract from the timeline, depending on the needs of the audience.
