SUMMARY:Understanding ADHD and Executive Functioning: Practical Strategies for Children\, Teens\, and Adults – Part 2 | Virtual | Presented by Jacqueline Rhew\, LCPC and Lauren Hart\, MA\, LB1
DESCRIPTION:The Mental Health Board and the Center for Emotional Wellness of the Northwest Suburbs have partnered to offer this training opportunity for our Behavioral Health network.\nREGISTER HERE!\nFREE: 1 IDFPR CEU for LSW/LCSW\, LPC/LCPC\, Psychologists\, and ISBE CPDU’s for School Professionals \nSUMMARY\n \nAttention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects individuals across all stages of life\, influencing attention\, organization\, emotional regulation\, and daily functioning. Central to ADHD are challenges with executive functioning—the skills that allow us to plan\, prioritize\, initiate\, and sustain effort toward goals. This session provides a comprehensive look at ADHD and executive functioning in children\, adolescents\, and adults\, offering insight into how symptoms may appear differently across ages and environments. Participants will learn practical\, evidence-based tools to help individuals strengthen executive skills\, improve focus and organization\, and build confidence through a strengths-based\, neurodiverse-informed lens. \nOBJECTIVES \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the relationship between ADHD and executive functioning and how challenges manifest across developmental stages and settings.\nApply practical\, evidence-based interventions to improve organization\, attention\, emotional regulation\, and self-management in individuals with ADHD.\nUtilize strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming strategies that promote self-awareness\, independence\, and success at school\, home\, and work.\n\nPRESENTERS \nJacqueline Rhew\, CADC\, LCPC\, is the co-founder of the Center for Emotional Wellness of the Northwest Suburbs.
