Aids for Your Counseling Work
Is ADHD Impacting Your Relationship? information sheet. Download this handout for your waiting room or to give to those who might need it.
Seminar for couples complements your work: Many counselors recommend Melissa's books to their patients and clients as a great way to get conversations started about ADHD and its impact on the couple's relationship. In addition, counselors also recommend the live or recorded couples seminars to help 'jumpstart' the ADHD conversation and help both partners move beyond denial so that they may begin more productive therapy. If you have any questions about whether the course might be appropriate for your own patients, or if you wish to hear a sample of the course, please contact Melissa.
Treatment E-Book, "How to Optimize Treatment for Adult ADHD" provides an overview of how to think about treatment conceptually, as well as provides solid information about treatment options. Reviewed by Drs. Hallowell and Ratey before publication for accuracy. Download and share with your patients, or send your patients to this site to download it and get other information.
