Compass Wellness is Announcing our ADHD 101 therapeutic group!
Where: Virtually via Google Meet
When: Tuesdays at 12pm

🧭Joining an ADHD support group can be a game-changer! If you've been wondering if it's right for you, here are a few reasons why they're so incredibly helpful:

​🧭Benefits of an ADHD Support Group

​You're Not Alone: Finally, a space where people genuinely get the ADHD brain. Sharing experiences about things like time blindness, executive dysfunction, and emotional regulation helps banish feelings of isolation and shame.

​Practical Wisdom: Learn real-world coping strategies and life hacks from people who have been there. Get tips on everything from organizing your home to staying on track at work.

​Accountability & Motivation: Many groups offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to check in on goals and get a little nudge of positive encouragement when that famous ADHD wall of awful goes up.

​Validation: It's a place to be open about your struggles and celebrate your wins without having to constantly explain or apologize. That feeling of validation is powerful!
