Upcoming Webinar – Tuesday, April 4, 2023, 10:00 Central Standard Time (CST) to 1:15 CST:

TPN.Health webinar: Comorbidity in Adults with AD/HD. Continuing Education Credits Available for mental health professionals.

Description:

AD/HD has been known as a mental health disorder with many potential comorbidities for years. However, most of what we know about these comorbidities has been based on research done on children and adolescents with AD/HD, not adults. Part of the reason for this is that scientists have been studying ADHD in children and adolescents since the 1950’s and only began doing the same in adults with AD/HD in the 1990s. Another reason is that the longitudinal studies of adults with AD/HD have only recently been long enough to learn what the risks for comorbidity are over time for this population.

The purpose of this 3 hour webinar is to provide the latest research regarding what the most common mental, cognitive, and physical health comorbidities experienced by adults with AD/HD are, how to identify these comorbidities, and how the treatment of the adult changes with the comorbidity to help provide help for the entire client.

Upcoming Webinar – Friday, May 12, 2023, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM (Arizona Time):

Southern Arizona Psychological Association (SAPA) webinar: ECHO Training -Addressing Internalized Stigma in ADHD Treatment with Women and Gender Diverse Clients. By Sarah May, Ph.D., and Kevin T. Blake, Ph.D., P.L.C. Continuing Education Credits available for Psychologist.

Description:

Since the late 1930’s it has been thought there are more males with ADHD than females. This ratio has gone from 9 to 1, to almost 1 to one in the present. Strangely, today many believe there are 3 boys to every 1 girl with ADHD, but 1 man to every woman with ADHD. Science has not discovered the definitive reason for this. However, one reason may be there has not been any longitudinal studies of females with ADHD.

People with ADHD tend to experience “Time Blindness” which means they often do not think of the consequences of their behavior more than a few hours. There is “Now and Not Now and Not Now is Not Important.” They caught in the now and have great difficulty with hind and foresight. This is due to the executive function difficulties they experience. This is the primary reason those with ADHD have problems with time management.

While “Time Blindness” and other manifestations of ADHD cause impairment, social stigma about these symptoms increases their impact on clients’ lives. Many adult clients with ADHD have internalized negative messages about themselves leading to shame, isolation, and even difficulty implementing skills taught in therapy. We will identify some of the internalized messages often encountered in treatment and explore their impact on functioning and treatment progress. Then, treatment strategies to reduce self-stigmatization using mindfulness, CBT, and psychoeducation will be discussed, modeled, and practiced.
