​Curious about ADHD or wondering what a diagnosis really means for your day-to-day life? Whether you’re exploring ADHD for yourself, supporting someone you love, or figuring out what comes next after a diagnosis, this free virtual workshop is for you.

​Hosted in collaboration with Finding Focus and The ADHD Clinic by Shift Collab, this event will walk you through the full ADHD care pathway, from understanding the diagnosis process to learning how therapy supports sustainable, real-life change.

​You’ll hear from Jennifer Arturaola-Gutierrez, NP-PHC, from Finding Focus, who will explain what ADHD is, how it’s diagnosed, and what treatment options are available. Then, Kaela McCarney, MSW, RSW, ADHD Therapy Expert at Shift Collab, will share how therapy can help you manage everyday challenges, build structure, and create momentum that lasts.

​Together, they’ll share a grounded, real-world look at ADHD care: what works, what to expect, and how to take the next step toward feeling more focused and in control.

​What We'll Dive Into

​In this 60-minute workshop, we’ll explore:

• ​What ADHD really is: Understanding attention, executive function, and emotional regulation

• ​How ADHD is diagnosed: The assessment process, treatment options, and when to seek support

• ​The role of therapy in ADHD care: How therapy builds skills for motivation, structure, and balance

• ​A few practical takeaways: One or two simple strategies to start using right away, plus a handout to help you put them into action

• ​Your care pathway: What ADHD support looks like through Finding Focus and The ADHD Clinic by Shift Collab

​We’ll wrap up with a live Q&A where our hosts will answer your questions and help guide your next steps.

It’s all happening on Wednesday, October 29th at 7 PM ET. And yes, it’s totally free! Whether you’re a current Shift or Finding Focus client or just ADHD-curious, this is a space for you.
