Integrative Approaches to ADHD in Adults

This will be an overview for therapists on the approach to ADHD diagnosis and treatment in adults. Would like to provide ample opportunity for questions and open discussion, and will organize the workshop in a stepwise order that mirrors clinical experience.

This is an in-person luncheon at Capital Grille in Costa Mesa, sponsored by OC-CAMFT.
