She discusses the importance of empathy in work culture, explains how to open up about struggles and ask for accommodations, and gives actionable tips for leaders on how they can support (and bring out the best in) their ADHD employees.
ADHD Storytelling:
Bridging the Gap Between Clinical Knowledge & Lived Experiences
The rise of content creators is rapidly transforming the mental healthcare landscape. Discover the revolutionary synergy of online communities, compassionate healthcare providers, and patient education in the treatment of ADHD. This talk explores how social media platforms are not only sources of support, but also wellsprings of innovative coping strategies tailor-made for ADHD brains. Learn how the digital age empowers patients to become partners in their own healthcare journey, promoting long-term treatment success through self-awareness, self-advocacy, and the ripple effect of shared knowledge. This talk is designed specifically for clinicians, mental healthcare providers, and professionals looking to embrace these evolving trends and better support their ADHD patients.
Working From Home with ADHD
Making the switch to working from home has been challenging for many people, but it’s had an especially severe impact on those with ADHD. Dani discusses the helpful constructs in-person offices provided that were lost: structure, transition time, accountability, connection, and cues. She provides insight on why ADHD makes it hard to work without them, as well as strategies to help re-implement these concepts from the office back into employees’ home workspaces.
