ADHD is frequently underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed in Black girls and women. This leads to a lack of experiential and clinical validation, appropriate support and intervention. In addition to real-time underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis, there is an obvious absence of this issue as a primary concern in the body of published research and professional dialogue for this population. This workshop aims to bridge this gap by offering understanding of the unique presentation of ADHD in Black Women. This session will highlight the gaps in research for this population. We will introduce opportunities for diagnostic strategies that incorporate experiential dialogue and cultural humility.
This presentation and workshop can benefit practitioners, clinicians, professional support staff and most importantly Black women who have been diagnosed, who have self-diagnosed or struggled to be adequately diagnosed related to presenting symptoms and history. Participants will learn practical interventions tailored to the expressed needs of Black Women. By fostering cultural humility, this workshop will empower those with related lived experiences. It will also educate those who treat and support them to reflect on their own biases and engage in a respectful and culturally sensitive manner. Attendees will leave equipped with the knowledge and tools to better support Black Women with ADHD, ultimately contributing to improved mental health outcomes and overall well-being.
This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 1.0 APA CEs for Psychologists, 1.0 IL CEUS for Counselors and Social Workers, or 1.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSW, and LMFTs.
