Program focus: ADD/ADHD
ADHD Seminars are a psychoeducation-based group for parents of children ages 4 to 12 years old with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The seminars are identified by topics and provide an opportunity for parents to learn more about ADHD, the symptoms, the research, and its impact on children at home, school and in the community. Parents can access the seminar by contacting intake or asking their current worker.
The seminars are offered September – May and each seminar is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Seminars are offered on a monthly basis; families can choose which seminars they would like to attend. Parents learn to understand the disorder and the impact is has on children’s learning and their behaviour. Trained therapists who are well versed about this disorder provide knowledge and help parents to understand their children’s needs better and respond to their children in appropriate ways.
Interested participants can write to either krishna.vora@stridestoronto.ca or Thabitha.winfred@stridestoronto.ca to be put on the mailing list.
