Supporting Children and Young People with ADHD

Supporting Children and Young People with ADHD

Are you a parent or carer of a child or young person with ADHD? Join us for an engaging and informative webinar hosted by Derbyshire Parent Carer Voice (DPCV) and facilitated by Max Devereux, Educational Psychologist from Derbyshire County Council. This session is designed to deepen your understanding of ADHD and empower you with neuro-affirming strategies to support your child’s wellbeing and development.

Key Topics We'll Cover:

• What is ADHD? Exploring myths and how ADHD is portrayed in mainstream media.
• Understanding ADHD Traits: Executive functioning, self-regulation, dopamine seeking, demand anxiety, rejection sensitivity, and more.
• Strategies for Success: Practical approaches to support your child’s emotions, behaviour, and learning.
• Neurodivergent Families: Encouraging self-awareness and fostering self-care for both children and parents/carers.

What You’ll Gain:

By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident in:

• Understanding how ADHD traits impact emotions, behaviour, and learning.
• Identifying and addressing potential barriers faced by children, parents/carers, and educators.
• Implementing a range of neuro-affirming strategies to support ADHD children and young people effectively.

Last year, these sessions were incredibly well received by parent carers, who found them both helpful and reassuring. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical tools to support your family.

This webinar is perfect for parents, carers, and anyone who wants to better understand ADHD and its impact on children and young people.
