Living with Invisible, Chronic Illness
Experiencing a physical discomfort to chronic pain, the distraction of bodily sensations, and/or inconsistent or impaired functionality have a significant influence on the quality of life. A compounding factor may include mobility issues and/or a need to plan-prepare-respond to a medical condition. Chronic (often invisible) medical conditions can result in social isolation, decreased abilities, inconsistent motivation, and demoralization. Interventions include (a) proactive, supportive socialization, (b) active interests and novel experiences, and (c) on-going learning about healthier coping tools and more effective self-care behaviors that are beneficial for mental health as well physical well-being.

Adults with ADHD: Executive FUNctions, etc.
The term "ADHD" is a diagnosis and is often experienced as a label based on stereotypes and a lack of knowledge. The symptoms of this neurologically-based condition, and the many subtle and compounding symptoms, are rarely discussed, to include clinicians. Assessments and research-based information provide the structure of this program. Self-intervention follows increased understanding, just as a thorough assessment precedes effective treatment. A new understanding is required for meaningful change. Informational presentations & guided discussions provide structure to address aspects of mental health, self-esteem, learning, functioning, and relationships. The completion of four preliminary assessment interviews is required.
