SUMMARY:Beyond Stereotypes: Navigating the Intersection of Mental Health and ADHD- 1.5 CE
DESCRIPTION:The primer to this course can be accessed on our online course portal (click here.) Though not a requirement prior to attending this session\, it is recommended.				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					Abstract				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n									With a focus on the interplay between ADHD and Mental Health across the lifespan\, this webinar is a continuation of Part 1 of the “Beyond Series” (Beyond Diagnosis) but can be attended as independent of the series. In this session\, we integrate principles of positive psychology and cognitive neuroscience to help practitioners foster resilience and well-being in clients with complex ADHD and mental health profiles. In this 1.5-hour webinar\, we will discuss the latest research on the neurocognitive underpinnings of ADHD\, including differences in brain structure and function; provide a comprehensive overview of specific executive functions (e.g.\, working memory\, planning\, organization\, emotional regulation) and how they are commonly impacted in ADHD and mental illness; and analyze case studies highlighting the diverse presentations of ADHD and the challenges of differential diagnosis to empower your approach to working with this often-misunderstood population. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					Intended Audience				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n									Psychologists; Mental Health Therapists; Allied Health Professionals. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					Learning Objectives				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n									Childhood and Adolescence: Early signs of ADHD and their impact on social\, emotional\, and academic development.Transition to Adulthood: Unique challenges faced by adults with ADHD\, including relationships\, work\, and self-esteem.Women and ADHD: Addressing the underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of ADHD in women\, we highlight the importance of gender-sensitive assessment and treatment.Debunking common myths and misconceptions: We work to unmask ADHD in the therapy room\, while exploring the complexities of diagnosing ADHD in the presence of co-occurring mental health disorders like anxiety\, depression\, and mood disorders\, especially for adults and women. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					Presenter				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n					Larissa Predy				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n									Larissa Predyhas over 20 years of experience working with individuals with developmental disorders in various settings. She has specialized in all-ages assessment and treatment of ADHD\, Autism\, learning differences\, exceptionalities\, behaviour problems\, personality\, and parenting concerns for ~15 years. Larissa received her MA in School & Child Psychology from UBC after completing her BA in Psychology at Vancouver Island University. After several years in research and practice\, she returned to complete her doctorate at the University of Alberta (UofA) and is presently a doctoral candidate (ABD!) in Cognitive Developmental Psychology\, specializing in measurement and conceptualization of executive functioning through transitions and across the lifespan. She has enjoyed teaching Adolescent Development\, Emotional Development\, and Abnormal Psychology at the UofA over the past 5 years. Larissa frequently provides community workshops and training in neurodiversity\, complex behaviours\, and developmental topics\, to teachers\, EA’s\, parent groups\, and workplaces. She has special interests in supporting and understanding ADHD and Autism in less researched populations (e.g.\, women; adults; nonbinary). Larissa is passionate about the impact of family- and social-systems in mental wellness\, as well as the importance of policy and governmental agendas for social change. At Little Oaks\, Larissa provides clinical consultation and supervision for many early career clinicians\, including clinical counsellors and provisional psychologists\, as well as registered psychologists under the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP) who are developing competencies in school and formal assessment\, neurodiversity\, differential diagnosis\, and clinical/counselling skills. She is an Adjunct Academic Colleague with the UofA’s Department of Educational Psychology supporting doctorate and masters level practicums and internships through their School & Clinical Child Psychology (SCCP) program. She also accepts student interns from the University of Calgary’s School & Applied Child Psychology (SACP) program\, as well as masters of counselling programs including the University of Lethbridge\, Yorkville\, and City University. Larissa currently supervises new and training professionals and accepts clients with complex emotional-behavioural needs\, particularly in contexts of short-term parenting consultations and family therapy. She has a strong reputation for excellence in comprehensive assessment. She holds assessment contracts with three local school districts\, and teaches individuals and teams strategies for successful integration and support of neurodiversity in the workplace and academic systems. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					Cancellation and Refunds				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n									Cancellation and refunds may be applied for by email or phone call to the PAA Continuing Professional Development Officer.  Cancellations received fourteen (14) days prior to the Continuing Professional Development activity will receive a full refund of the registration fee\, less a $35.00 + GST processing fee.
