Shaping the Parent’s Role in Managing ADHD

Fortunately, after a decade of supporting parents of kids with ADHD and related challenges all over the world, Elaine Taylor-Klaus & Diane Dempster from ImpactParents.com understand ADHD well — and they have identified tried and true techniques and strategies to help you support yourself and your family. Whether you’re in quarantine, navigating hybrid work and school, or figuring out how to start living “normally “ in uncertain times, learn skills to improve communication and empower your kids (and even yourself) to problem-solve collaboratively — not just in the weeks and months ahead, but for the long term.

Curious about stimulant or non-stimulant approaches?

These terms refer to certain approaches to treat diagnosed ADHD. Mentavi Health / ADHD Online may provide stimulant approaches (certain medications under medical treatment that are generally considered Class II controlled substances) or non-stimulant approaches (medications generally not considered Class II, and/or therapy and coaching not related to medication).

A diagnosis and initial conversation with our treatment clinicians is key to the best path for you. The diagnosis is a key first step to determine if you have ADHD or other related conditions. Approximately 60% of patients with ADHD have co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression, for example. At the same time, patients who believe they have ADHD may not even have it. For those who do, there can be a variety of considerations into what kind of treatment works best to meet the patient where they’re at.

If you are not feeling right, your journey starts with the first step of diagnostic evaluation.

There may be a brief delay in service today between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM ET. Thank you for your patience — we look forward to assisting you shortly.
