Re: ADHD coaches in Quebec?

Hi Galenos,

I’m happy to know im not the only one here in Trois-Rivières with adhd!

Quite a bit has happened since writing that post, after starting treatment (medication) i’ve come to realize as you might well know that although the medication helps a whole lot and breaks down barriers, it doesn’t do everything!

I got in touch with my local CLSC (St-Joseph) who offers coaching built around a very well known program used by psychiatrists and doctors specialized in adhd treatment accross North America. It focuses mainly on acquiring skills to better organize and plan, controling distractibility and managing your emotions more efficiently. The program is free, a social worker comes to my house every week to discuss the different adhd related problems ive been having, we go over the material and we try to find ways to reach the goals that i have set for myself. Im in my third week and so far its been helpful, depending on how your adhd affects, you might find that you already know what to do but don’t apply it as you should and don’t understand the importance of these skills. The program helps you reinforce these skills and make habits out of them so that they become second nature.

This program is about building a good foundation so you can move on to other things.

If you are interested i can give you the contact of the person you need to reach to get into the coaching program.
