For Healthcare and Continuing Care
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects an estimated 4 to 6 percent of Canadian adults. In recent years, ADHD has gained greater recognition in the workplace. Many adults with ADHD experience challenges with organization, time management, sustaining attention, and follow through, factors that can make work feel overwhelming and increase the risk of stress and burnout.
With the right strategies and supports, however, employees with ADHD can work more effectively, manage their energy, and thrive in their roles. This webinar is designed for adults with ADHD, leaders who support them, and organizations seeking to become more inclusive and manageable for everyone.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Apply evidence informed, practical strategies to reduce stress and improve follow through, including planning systems, breaking tasks into manageable steps, managing interruptions, and building realistic, sustainable routines.
- Communicate workplace challenges effectively and advocate for their needs using clear, practical approaches.
- Identify supportive accommodations, suggest workable options, and start conversations that protect privacy while improving understanding and support at work.
