What good are tools for supporting children with ADHD if a parent can’t use them because of their own ADHD challenges?  We know that in order to be truly helpful, we have to put the “oxygen mask on ourselves first”…but if the current gold-standard of treatment protocols don’t recognize that half of all kids diagnosed with ADHD also have a parent struggling with the same disorder, what is one to do? Dr. Lauren Friedman has some answers.

ADHD in Parents & Children: Does Parental ADHD affect treatment for kids? Half of all children diagnosed with ADHD have at least one parent with the disorder but most strategies designed for helping those children neglect to take parents’ struggles with ADHD or executive dysfunction into account.  Dr. Lauren Friedman and her colleagues at Arizona State University’s Department of Psychology are studying ways to effectively and practically support parents with ADHD so they can, in turn, support their kids. The Institute for Mental Health Research, #IMHR-az invites you to a groundbreaking webinar that delves into the intricate relationship between #ADHD in parents and children. Statistics show us that: -There are more than 6 million children in the US diagnosed with ADHD. Half of all children with ADHD have at least one parent with the disorder.   -When parents seek #treatment for their kids but struggle to engage with treatment due to their own ADHD challenges, treatments are less effective.   -Newer treatment options that address ADHD in the whole family are needed, yet no such treatment exists. Join our special guest Dr. Lauren Friedman, principal researcher of “Behavioral Parent Training for Childhood ADHD: How Does ADHD in Parents Affect Treatment for Children?” to explore the latest research findings, clinical insights, and potential avenues for intervention. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear about potential emerging approaches for family-based ADHD treatments.  Join us on October 27th at 12:00 PM MST to be a part of the conversation.  Reserve your FREE spot today:  https://lnkd.in/gG_a3442 Brought to you by the Institute for Mental Health Research. Dr. Lauren Friedman is an Assistant Professor within the Department of Psychology at ASU, director of the Hyperactivity, Executive function, and Attention Treatment (HEAT) Program, and holds a concurrent appointment at the Research and Education Advancing Children’s Health (REACH) Institute. Dr. Friedman received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida. She completed her clinical internship and post-doctoral fellowships at the University of California, San Francisco. Her research centers on understanding the etiology of childhood ADHD to inform interventions for the disorder. She examines the cognitive processes contributing to the core symptoms and functional deficits associated with ADHD, and the impact on parental ADHD on treatment response. She uses this knowledge to optimize behavioral interventions for youth with ADHD using novel treatment adaptations and approaches.
