Beyond the Mask: Interventions for Women with ADHD, with Caitlyn Keib

This workshop aims to explore the oppressive systems that perpetuate women's symptoms, lack of diagnosis, and inability to connect to resources or treatment. Clinicians will be equipped with practical, neuro-affirming tools to support clients through these systems as well as be able to provide interventions and education on an individual level. Grounded in radical self-compassion and a strengths-based lens, this training offers strategies that align with how ADHD brains actually function.

Participants will learn how to work with natural cycles of attention, energy, and motivation—rather than imposing neurotypical standards of consistency.

- Foster self-compassion…
