ADHD Mentoring
ADHD Mentoring is when someone with ADHD has the opportunity to connect with someone else who has ADHD to share: experiences, insights and knowledge. My program is catered to youth aged 12-17 and work to break down stigma and feelings of inadequacy and begin to truly understand how their ADHD brain works. Mentoring offers a relaxed and comfortable environment to work on (often) difficult areas such as: time management, emotional dysregulation, feelings of overwhelm, organization, or whatever it is you may be struggling with.
My philosophy when it comes to ADHD Mentoring is to meet youth where they are at; whether that’s connecting through video games, playing board games, colouring, exercising or simply just hanging out. Meeting the youth where they are at creates a more natural and comfortable environment to discuss our mutual lived-experiences with ADHD.
Peer mentoring has been shown to have significant, positive effects on youth with regards to: anxiety, depression, interpersonal relations and self-esteem, as shown in the image below (Haft, Stephanie L et al., 2019, Child and adolescent mental health vol. 24,4 (2019): 318-328. doi:10.1111/camh.12331).
Looking for more information or not sure if ADHD Mentoring is right for you? (Or not sure if your youth is willing to “talk to some guy about my ADHD”)? Feel free to email me and set up a FREE 30-minute consultation.
