The 2024 International ADHD Conference was amazing.  It was such a welcoming environment for everyone, it is NOT only for professionals.   It was a safe place to be yourself and more than likely find a bunch of people just like you. Oh, and I learned a new term, neuro-spicy.

 

There were therapists, phycologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists educators, and coaches from all around the world.  It was an opportunity to take advantage of a gathering of great minds and have conversations about ADHD and just soak it all in. Not one voice was louder than other, medication or natural remedies, pills vs skills.  Everyone was there for ADHD education, awareness and support. 

 

The support group (Social Savvy) that I led with my fellow ADDA facilitators went so well.  The goal of the group was to develop social skills for adults with ADHD that could be used during the conference.  We received wonderful feedback and I hope that it will be added as a regular support group at future conferences. 

 

Next year it will be in Kansas City. I have never been to Kansas City but I hear it has some pretty good BBQ. 

 

Everyone is welcome!!!
