Coffee with Counselors

Coffee with Counselors is December 9th from 8:00-8:45 in the Media Center. This event is for parents to spend time with two of our counselors as well as hear other helpful information. December 9th we will be hearing from Candin Phillips: a licensed therapist and supervisor with 15 years experience in the field. She has a specialized focus on ADHD in children and adults, with years of experience teaching, training, and coaching on the topic. Having her own ADHD gives her a leg up on understanding it's functional impact and helping reduce the shame that often comes along with it.

During Coffee with Counselors, Candin will be speaking on 3 arching components of ADHD that are often not explained in a doctors office. Understanding these often brings an "aha" moment whether the diagnosis is new for your family or a long time presence. Candin is looking forward to chatting and sipping coffee with everyone!
