For Community Social Services
This webinar is designed for employees with ADHD who want work to feel less overwhelming and more manageable, without burning out. Participants will learn evidence-informed strategies to reduce stress and improve follow-through, including simple planning systems, breaking tasks into smaller steps, managing interruptions, and building routines that are realistic to maintain.
The session will also cover self-advocacy and workplace accommodations in clear, plain language, how to explain what feels challenging, identify what helps, suggest workable options, and start supportive conversations that protect privacy while improving understanding and support at work.
