Build skills, not just awareness
The ADHD Education, Skills, and Strategies Group is a structured, psychoeducational program designed for adults with ADHD or those who suspect they may have ADHD who want to build practical tools for daily life. The group emphasizes skill-building, applied activities, and peer support. While the group is not a replacement for individual therapy, many participants experience therapeutic benefits such as reduced shame, increased self-awareness, and a stronger sense of connection.
