Mindful Care of ADHD:
Using Mindfulness Training to Support Evidence-Based ADHD Interventions

Comprehensive care of patients with ADHD starts with appropriate medical, behavioral and educational interventions. Even with these broad supports in place, living with ADHD is often challenging, increasing stress and reactivity, straining relationships, and hindering an ability to address issues both creatively and consistently as they arise.

Decades of research suggest that mindfulness based techniques can support adults and families with ADHD by reducing stress, improving cognitive flexibility in problem solving, and facilitating the growth of healthy relationships. This workshop will review research into the science of mindfulness, including how it relates to ADHD, and provide practical tools for stress management in daily life.
