ADHD In Mind

Service Description

A CPD Seminar for Teachers, SENCOs, Support Staff, and Counsellors "Is it behaviour, or is it a symptom?" This unique and engaging seminar offers a fresh, neuroaffirming perspective on ADHD in the classroom—rooted not in labels or control, but in deep biological understanding, real empathy, and practical strategies that work. Led by neurodivergent therapist Michael Colling, this training takes you beyond surface behaviour and into the neurological, chemical, and psychological realities of the ADHD brain. With clarity, compassion, and a touch of humour, Michael guides participants through a journey that challenges assumptions and fosters connection. Whether you work in a school, support setting, or counselling role, you’ll leave with greater confidence in recognising the signs of ADHD, supporting self-regulation, and creating environments where neurodivergent children can thrive. What You’ll Learn: How ADHD affects brain structure, function, and behaviour, The roles of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in attention and mood, Why movement is not “misbehaviour” but often an intuitive coping strategy, The Default Mode vs. Task-Positive Networks – and how to support the right one at the right time, Practical, everyday ways to support regulation, connection, and classroom harmony, How to distinguish ADHD from trauma, anxiety, or masking, Why empathy, not control, is the key to unlocking potential, Training Format: Interactive, engaging seminar, Delivered online or in-person, Includes opportunities for discussion and Q&A, Access to downloadable summary and key strategies. CPD Certificate Provided: Accredited training hours suitable for teachers, counsellors, SENCOs, and school support staff. Why This Matters: ADHD is not a misbehaving child—it’s a different brain doing its best in a world not designed for it. When we understand what’s really going on beneath the behaviour, we stop punishing children for symptoms—and start empowering them to thrive.
