New Support Group for Parents of Kids with ADHD

Are you a parent of a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)? Do you often feel overwhelmed, stressed, and unsure about how to best support your child’s needs? You are not alone.

We understand that parenting a child with ADHD can be challenging. That’s why we have started a support group just for parents like you. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for parents to connect, share experiences, and gain valuable knowledge about how to navigate the unique challenges of raising a child with ADHD.

Meeting Details

Our online support group will meet at a time mutually convenient to registrants which we will determine during the registration process. Our clinical director, Dr. Emily Bly, will facilitate the group and guide group discussions. We welcome all parents, whether your child has recently been diagnosed or if they have been living with ADHD for years. Our group is a place where you can feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and concerns confidentially and without any judgment.

What to Expect?

In our meetings, we will have guest speakers who are experts in the field of ADHD, as well as open discussions where everyone can share their own experiences and learn from one another. Together, we can find ways to help our children thrive and develop strategies to manage daily tasks and behaviors.

We believe that having a strong support system is essential for both the child with ADHD and their parents. You don’t have to go through this alone. Join our support group and connect with other parents who understand what you are going through.

How to Join?

If you are interested in joining our support group or to find out more, please fill out this brief contact form to schedule an initial phone consult with Dr. Emily Bly who will provide you with more details and help determine if this group is the right fit for you. We look forward to meeting you and helping you on this journey of parenting a child with ADHD. Together, we can make a positive difference in our children’s lives. See you soon!

Let’s support each other and our kids with ADHD. #ADHD #ADHDparenting #supportgroup #youarenotalone

Can Brain Science Help Us Break Bad Habits?

Thinking of New Year’s Resolutions? You might want to read this New Yorker article called “Can Brain Science Help Us Break Bad Habits?” A thought provoking read, the author lays out the argument that because so many habits are formed unconsciously, relying on will power is all but useless. The key is in developing strategies that side step the need for resolve. This is a central concept in our work with adults and children with ADHD. We must learn how to work with what we have rather than struggle through force of willpower alone. Contact us to find out how we can help you develop these strategies.

Reading Aloud to Kids May Improve Behavior and Attention

If you are wondering how you might improve your child’s focus, we recommend taking a look at this New York Times article called “Reading Aloud to Young Children Has Benefits for Behavior and Attention.” The article talks about a recent psychological study that followed 675 families, asking half of the families to read to their children and asking half to not. The study demonstrated that families that read to their children saw their kids improve in all kinds of ways — not just in literacy and attention, but also in emotional well being.
