Rethinking ADHD

For decades, ADHD has been treated as a fixed, genetically determined brain disorder that should be managed with medication, behavior charts, rewards, and consequences.

But after years of studying and living with the condition, author and expert Gabor Maté has found that ADHD is far more changeable, understandable, and healable than we’ve been led to believe.

In this powerful workshop, based on his New York Times bestselling book Scattered Minds, Dr. Maté reframes ADHD as a neurodevelopmental response shaped by early stress, emotional attunement, environment, and the relational patterns we grow up with.

And because ADHD is shaped by experience, it can be changed by experience.

Join us for this free workshop, and you’ll gain a deep, science-supported understanding of the real roots of attention challenges, impulsivity, motivation struggles, and emotional dysregulation — and learn how to help children, teens, and adults move from coping to truly thriving with greater confidence and self-understanding.

Dr. Maté will also be joined by internationally recognized ADHD specialist Terry Matlen, LMSW, ACSW, whose frontline clinical work and bestselling books have helped thousands of women and adults navigate ADHD with clarity and compassion.
