ADHD in Adults: Living & Working with an Adventure Brain

Being in Community is so important for those of us with Adventure Brains! This in-person workshop is designed to help adults better understand how ADHD shows up in daily life and why certain challenges persist even with strong motivation or intelligence. You can expect a practical, educational session focused on executive function, common patterns in adulthood, and realistic ways to work with your brain rather than against it. This is not a quick-fix or productivity-hack workshop. The emphasis is on understanding, application, acceptance. The session will include guided discussion, reflection, and time for questions in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic options. Light bites will also be available!

Sibling and Adult Child Mental Health Support Group

This is a mental health support group for siblings or adult children of individuals with mental illness. Groups are non-clinical and are led by two people who have a sibling or parent living with mental illness. At the beginning of the group, NAMI guidelines and principles are shared, which is followed by a check in. Participants are invited to introduce themselves and speak a bit about how they are doing in the present moment. This is followed by an opportunity to give support, get support, share what has worked for you and what has not. *Come 30 minutes early to chat with us, learn about resources, and enjoy light snacks! To minimize disruption, no one will be admitted 15 minutes after the group starts.* Our support and social groups are offered completely free of charge. If you'd like to support us in continuing this important work, please donate here: [https://bit.ly/43J0Qsk](https://bit.ly/43J0Qsk) *Observers are not permitted.*
