Women with ADHD are one of the fastest growing groups seeking clinical support, yet most clinicians feel underprepared and uncertain of their clinical toolkit when it comes to meeting this need. Similarly, women with ADHD often report feeling woefully misunderstood and unsupported - even within the therapy space. This presentation will provide a sound (and interesting!) knowledge base alongside actionable skills and recommendations for clinical interventions to support clinicians working with neurodivergent women. Themes discussed will include common cognitive, emotional and relational experiences of women with ADHD, the intersection of hormones and ADHD, the impact of internalized messages related to neurodiversity and living with invisible differences, gender roles and biases, and clinical interventions to help clients manage ADHD challenges without shame or the exhausting pursuit of a neurotypical ideal. Whether new to the field of women with ADHD or an experienced provider, Dr. Frank’s approachable delivery, expansive knowledge base, and relatable discussion of key clinical considerations for this unique population will help you take your work to the next level.
This online program is worth 6.5 hours CPD.
