Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder (ADHD) Family Education

The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) program is designed to help develop positive parenting practices and behavioural management strategies for parents who have children diagnosed with ADHD.

We help parents and youth by providing:

• effective communication strategies, 
• behaviour management strategies,
• stress and anger management strategies,
• problem solving and coping skills,
• esteem building skills,
• information on medications,
• consultations with other health-care professionals, and
• community presentations. 

Our family-based services include group education sessions for parents about the neurobiology and characterises of ADHD. We also offer individual/family consultations for families who are enrolled in the education sessions. 

To attend education sessions, please contact Cindy Mardyn to make a referral by email at cindy.mardyn@vch.ca or phone at (604) 519-3178.
