This workshop for women with ADHD is an invitation to embrace your neurodivergence with other women. During this one-day workshop, you will learn about, discuss, and reflect on your own ADHD experiences and challenges that have been shaped by how women are treated in a patriarchal society.
Topics:
- ADHD Iceberg - what others see and don't see
- Understanding how ADHD impacts your sense of identity
- When ADHD challenges tangle with your beliefs about yourself
- Rewriting narratives about who you are as a woman with ADHD
- Ways to care for and support yourself as a neurodivergent
