ADHD Bootcamp for Adults

Who is it for: 

This group is for people who: already have a diagnosis of ADHD or agree that they struggle with the symptoms of ADHD, for people who know about the impacts of living lives that are unhealthy – but maybe aren’t able to sustain their changes, for people who understand they do not have the skills to: tackle limiting habits and behaviours, setting goals and achieving them, estimating how much time it will take to complete tedious tasks and for those who forget or are overwhelmed with their to-do lists or other commitments. 

​

This group is not for people who: don’t believe they have a diagnosis of ADHD/have symptoms of ADHD, are not ready/willing to be challenged, have the solutions for their own behaviours and beliefs(and those in others) or who are unwilling to let go of a belief that they can change. The group is also not going to benefit those who have symptoms of other diagnosis that are not being treated or stabilized

​

What is it:

This 12-week cognitive-behavioral-based skills group is designed for adults, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed with ADHD, who are ready to challenge long-standing beliefs and behaviors that have held them back. The group aims to help participants create sustainable structures and organizational systems to better manage their symptoms. The program is divided into three modules, each consisting of four sessions. Each module offers valuable information, practical skills, and homework focused on wellness, mindfulness, and strategies to address Executive Function deficits common in ADHD. Sessions cover topics such as setting yourself up for success, stress management, organization, wellness, time management, planning and scheduling, prioritizing tasks, maintaining motivation, goal setting and completion, challenging limiting beliefs, impulse control, and managing strong emotions and obstacles..

​

This evidence-based group is based upon Mary V. Solanto’s Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Adult ADHD – Targeting Executive Dysfunction (2011). It focuses on increasing awareness and skill proficiency to address executive function deficits from ADHD. Content and material are presented electronically and followed up with weekly homework support to assist with long-lasting and adaptive changes in behaviour.

​

Think of this course as science class where you have lecture and lab.  You can expect handouts to go along with each week's topic and an opportunity to practice the skills each week as homework.
