Are you looking to deepen your skills and confidence in supporting adults with ADHD? You’re not alone. The demand for competent, neurodiversity-affirming ADHD care is growing, and many clinicians feel they didn't receive adequate training in this specialty.

You're invited to the inaugural session of the Maine ADHD Consult Group, a new professional community dedicated to practical, evidence-based learning. Facilitated by Dr. Christie Pickel, a specialist in adult ADHD, this recurring forum is designed to help you immediately integrate more effective strategies into your work, with an overarching goal of increasing access to high-quality ADHD care throughout Maine by empowering providers.

Whether this becomes your new monthly resource or a one-time skill-building session, this is your opportunity to join a dedicated community of practice. This session blends expert-led education with real-world case consultation and collaborative problem-solving, all within a supportive community of your peers.

Come experience the format, connect with fellow providers, and leave with actionable insights you can use with clients right away.
