Spotlight Session: Living with Adult ADHD Matters

From The Mental Health & Pastoral Care Institute

Monday, 11 Mar from 7:00pm – 8:30pm

Join us for an exploration of the experience, impact, and support options for adult ADHD

For anyone living with ADHD, or alongside of a loved-one with ADHD, please join us for an exploration of the experience, impact, and support options for adult ADHD*. This presentation will be delivered with a focus on the impact of ADHD in all areas of life including faith, and how churches can build safe and supportive communities for individuals living with ADHD. The presentation will be informed by neurodiversity-affirming principles.

During this session we will also interview Rev. Simon Carter who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and he will share from his experience.

*Please note, the focus will be geared towards adults.
