11th Annual ADHD Resource Conference CHADD Calgary March 6th

Update: as promised, here’s the extra ADHD coaching web resources I did for the presentation

CHADD Calgary is holding their 11th Annual ADHD Resource Conference, ADHD See It Through My Eyes on March 6th from 8am to 4.30pm at the Red and White Club, McMahon Stadium. Why not check it out if you have a chance?

I will be on of the 3 speakers. My topic is Adult ADHD Coaching: One size never fits all.

The other speakers are Dr. Declan Quinn, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Associate Professor at the University of Saskatchewan. He’ll be speaking on Developing Character Strengths and Virtues in ADHD.

Also Heidi Bernhardt, RN, Director of CADDAC, the Center for ADHD Advocacy Canada, and the Executive Director of CADDRA, the  Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance.  She’ll be speaking about ADHD organizations in Canada and how they can help people with ADHD

CHADD Calgary is an ADHD support group (Children and adults with ADHD) that

provides information and support for parents, children, and adults in and around the Calgary area, who are affected by and struggle with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

I’m on the board of CHADD Vancouver and the support group I run The Vancouver Adult ADHD Support Group is the adult group of CHADD Vancouver, so  I think local ADHD support groups can be pretty useful. I’m looking forward to meeting the members of CHADD Calgary and learning from the other presenters, I already know Heidi, haven’t met Declan yet.

I’m glad to see there is a recognition of the fact that there’s no ‘one size fits all’.

Most ADHD discussions pertain to ADHD’s potential challenges such as trouble paying attention, impulsivity, or stimulation seeking. ADHD’s potential strengths are largely overlooked. In fact, many people are not even aware of them.

Adults with ADHD are very intuitive. As technology has grown, our society became increasingly scientific. In general, society wants everything proven.
