Course Description
This course is an immersive three-hour online journey that delves into the realm of neurodiversity and the ways that Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) can help you better support your client. We begin with an introduction to ADHD, unravelling its multifaceted nature and exploring the subtle nuances of neurodivergence.
Empowering you with the knowledge needed to have the clarity and confidence to work with ADHD, the focus of this workshop is dedicated to the adaptations of DBT tailored for the neurodivergent brain. This facet of the course will equip you with a treasure trove of techniques finely attuned to the intricate wiring of neurodiverse minds.
Imagine this: you, the provider, facing a newly diagnosed client with ADHD. With the tools gleaned from this workshop, you seamlessly identify the unique manifestations of ADHD, fostering a deeper understanding of your client's struggles. You employ a DBT toolkit that you have calibrated to suit this person’s needs, which results in a positive connection between you and your client, and potential growth and healing for them.
By the time you complete this training, you will be equipped with specific knowledge, learned experiences, and resources. You'll have the skills to identify ADHD symptoms, and to seamlessly adapt your DBT toolkit to the unique needs of any neurodivergent individual that comes to you for support. Join us in this academic adventure, enrich your practice, and empower your clients on their journeys of self-discovery and growth.
