Thursday, October 10th, 2024
10AM PT | 12PM CT | 1PM ET
Join us on October 10th, 2024, at 1 PM ET for a special ADHD Awareness Month edition of the Brain Balance Parents Know Webinar Series. In this live conversation, Dr. Rebecca Jackson, Chief Programs Officer for Brain Balance, will be joined by Sarah McDowell, a Licensed Professional Counselor and behavioral health therapist with over 20 years of experience working with ADHD children and their families. Together, they’ll debunk the most common myths surrounding ADHD and provide parents with valuable insights and practical strategies to help their child thrive, no matter their age.
ADHD is often misunderstood as simply a behavior issue or something kids will "grow out of." Dr. Jackson and Sarah McDowell will explain the brain-based differences behind ADHD and how it impacts attention, emotion regulation, and executive functioning. They will also discuss practical daily lifestyle changes—such as nutrition, sleep, and screen time—that can significantly influence behavior, focus, and overall brain health.
Parents will walk away with tips on how to create an ADHD-friendly environment, avoid common misconceptions, and foster positive routines that promote better focus and emotional regulation. The webinar will also cover a balanced approach to treatment, including non-medication strategies that support long-term success.
