Mindful Choices is excited to announce the speaker lineup for our first Virtual Summer Summit Series session: Young Adults with ADHD: Lost in Transition, on June 17 from 12:30-2 PM EST.
We are honored to welcome a distinguished group of nationally recognized clinicians, researchers, and advocates who are helping shape the conversation around ADHD care across the lifespan. Our featured speakers bring expertise in adult ADHD, college mental health, school psychology, behavioral therapy, women and girls with ADHD, and lived experience navigating ADHD within families and communities. Together, they will explore the real challenges young adults with ADHD face as they transition into college, the workforce, and more independent environments, while identifying practical solutions to improve continuity of care, reduce stigma, and support better long-term outcomes.
RSVP to join us for this important discussion!
