Question 1

Who are these workshops and groups for?

Accepted Answer

Workshops and groups are designed for neurodivergent adults, people exploring ADHD or Autism, or anyone who wants a deeper understanding of how neurodivergent brains work. They also offer a chance to connect with others, share experiences, and learn practical tools in a supportive environment.

Question 2

Do I need a diagnosis to attend?

Accepted Answer

No. Many participants attend because they are curious, questioning, or learning more about themselves.

Question 3

What’s the difference between a workshop and a group?

Accepted Answer

Workshops are primarily psychoeducational, meaning they focus on learning about neurodivergence and practical strategies for daily life. You’re welcome to ask questions or share experiences, but participation is always optional — you can also simply listen and take in the information. Workshops are not a substitute for therapy.

Groups are more interactive and supportive, offering space for discussion, reflection, and skill-building. Many people find that learning alongside others and hearing shared experiences can be validating and helpful. While groups may include therapeutic or coaching elements, they are not a substitute for individual therapy.

Question 4

How long do workshops and groups usually last?

Accepted Answer

Workshops are typically 60 minutes with time for Q&A at the end.

Groups usually run for 4–8 weeks, with 90-minute sessions each week.

Question 5

How many people can attend a workshop vs a group?

Accepted Answer

Workshops have no attendee limit as they are entirely virtual.

Group size varies depending on the format (in person or virtual), but sessions are typically kept small enough to allow meaningful discussion. Typically, 4-12 people.

Question 6

Can organizations book workshops for their team or community?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Workshops can be adapted for workplaces, schools, or community organizations interested in learning about neurodivergence. Reach out (info@understandingadhd.ca)if you're interested in booking a workshop.
