Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often misunderstood and stigmatized, with 60-80% of individuals having additional mental health conditions. This overlap complicates ADHD management and is linked to increased substance use risks. Key factors include impulsivity and sensation seeking, self-medication for symptom relief, neurobiological differences in brain function, and co-occurring disorders like conduct and mood disorders.

This one day training will equip practitioners to work more effectively with families affected by substance use where there is trauma. Participants will learn the neuroscience of trauma and practical strategies to support families.
