Open Ended Run: Managing ADHD Medication Side Effects

$100

90-minute Workshop

ADHD Medications remain the first-line treatment for ADHD, but what can you do if you have side effects to them?  In the theater world, "open-ended run" means that a show will run as long as there is interest. Finding the right medication sometimes takes time, but once the right one is found, it can have a long run.  If you're nervous to start medications or struggling to find the right fit, learn to manage side effects for optimal control of symptoms.  This is a good workshop for parents to attend with their teen because teens can't make treatment decisions alone. Parents may want to bring a pen and notebook!

In this 90-minute workshop, teens will:

  • Learn about the role of medications
  • Learn about common side effects that may happen 
  • Learn effective strategies to combat side effects
  • Learn how to use tools to work with your prescriber
  • Gain access to the workshop downloadable printables

In addition:

  • Parents will be emailed information for each workshop so that as their teen's "stage manager" they can ensure ongoing performances as teens implement strategies learned
  • **BETA testing** teens will be invited to download and use our FREE and safe Kajabi communities app to interact with and ask questions of Dr Stuppy and others enrolled in the workshop for troubleshooting 
  • Families have the option of paying an additional fee to have the entire TEACH Me ADHD Directors Cut series workbook for all 10 TEACH Me ADHD Directors Cut workshops mailed to their home

Learn from Anywhere

We know teens have busy lives so we offer a rotating schedule of this and each of the TEACH Me ADHD: Director's Cut Teen Workshop Series throughout the year.

Each of the 10 workshops are 90-minutes and offered on zoom. Your teen can log on using their phone, tablet, or computer and use headphones for privacy. We will be offering each of 10 workshops multiple times a year so your teen can always sign up based on their schedule and time of year.

Teens can sign up for one, a few, or all the workshops! 

Teen-Focused

This workshop is only for teens, between 13 to 18 years of age, so they can "see" and learn alongside their peers. We've designed the overall series with a "director," "actor" and theater theme to empower teens to "re-write their script" so to realize their true potential.

Moreover, teens need ongoing support or maybe they have additional questions. Teens will gain access to our free, secure Kajabi Communities app for anytime access to our instructor. The forum is monitored at all times and only teens registered will have access.

Parent Support Included

Teens can invite parents to join them during the live workshop, either on or off camera.

However, we get that teens may have mixed feelings about their parent sitting in with them.

Parent attendance is optional as parents will receive an email with access to resources and a video summarizing content at the conclusion of the workshop. These tools are intended to help you talk confidently with your teen and reinforce ongoing practice!
