ADHD: What You Need to Know – A Q&A with Dr. Stephen Hinshaw

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 26 min

Teachers, school counselors and other educational professionals are on the front line in helping students with mental health challenges and can be among the first to notice when a child is struggling. In their pivotal relationships with students and families, these professionals are often in a position to match resources with needs. By expanding their knowledge of mental health issues experienced by young people, school faculty and staff may be better able to intervene earlier and make referrals for evaluation and assistance which can positively impact student well-being, performance and family life

This conversation will provide educators with a deeper understanding of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and the variety of ways ADHD presents in young people. BBRF President & CEO Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein and Dr. Stephen Hinshaw will discuss the different ways the disorder manifests and differences in presentation between boys and girls and provide advice for caregivers and educators as to how to help young people lead successful lives after diagnosis.
