Seattle ADHD Workshop with Don and Gina

August 5, 2010 in Conferences and Events, Finding Support, Gina Out and About, The Basics | No comments

Seattle-based ADHD specialist Don Baker, MA, LMHC

Adult ADHD workshops are few and far between on the West Coast, especially those that include a focus on relationship issues. To remedy this situation, well-known Seattle ADHD specialist Don Baker, MA, LMHC, and I have scheduled a one-day workshop.

It takes place Sunday, September 12, 11-7 pm, on beautiful Mercer Island, right above Lake Washington. And, we’d love to see you there. Couples. Singles (with or without ADHD). Therapists. As Don puts it, “A full day for the couples, uncoupled, and don’t want to be coupled.” In other words, all are welcome.

We’re still working out the day’s details, but it’s sure to be illuminating and entertaining. I for one immensely enjoy these opportunities to meet with singles and couples affected by ADHD, hear your stories, and share the knowledge I’ve gained over 10 years of study and advocacy. And I know I’ll learn a lot from Don, too, having greatly enjoyed his presentations at last year’s ADD Resources Conference and hearing such stellar reports about his Adult ADHD groups.

Capacity truly is limited, so if you’d like to join us, please sign up now at brownpapertickets.

See you on the 12th!

Don and Gina

See You in Seattle Next Saturday, 11/14: Eighth Annual ADD Resources Conference

November 8, 2009 in Conferences and Events, Gina Out and About | No comments

Consider this your personal invitation to join us next weekend (11/14/09) at ADD Resources’ Eighth Annual Fall Conference in Bellevue, Washington. The theme this year is ADHD: Acceptance is Empowering.

Knowledge is power, too, and this is a wonderfully cost-effective opportunity to both expand your knowledge of ADHD and familiarize yourself with the ADHD community in the Pacific Northwest.

Nationally known ADHD expert and psychologist Ari Tuckman (author of the new book More Attention, Less Deficit) will travel from Pennsylvania to present the morning keynote address: “Control What You Can, Let Go of the Rest.” Judging by the overflow capacity at Dr. Tuckman’s recent presentation at the CHADD conference in Cleveland, you won’t want to miss this candid, practical, and engaging expert!
