Mindfulness and Self-Reflection:

Throughout the workbook, teens are encouraged to engage in mindfulness practises and self-reflection, as we break down the journal into workable chunks. Our “Stop and Check-In” prompts serve as gentle reminders for teens to pause, breathe, and evaluate their progress.

Celebrating Strengths and Achievements:

“ADHD & Me” celebrates the unique strengths and qualities that individuals with ADHD possess. Through activities like “Famous People with ADHD” and our Reward Sheet teens are encouraged to embrace their individuality and view ADHD as a source of creativity, resilience, and innovation. By reframing perceptions of ADHD, teens cultivate a positive self-image and learn to harness their strengths to achieve their goals.
