On a crisp October morning, a diverse group of professionals converged upon Broad Oak Manor in Hertfordshire, UK, for the eighth seminar in Nouvita’s Excellence in Specialist Mental Health series. The speakers at the one-day meeting were equally multidisciplinary, with presentations from a mentor to people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a teacher, and healthcare professionals. The talks were thematically linked by the idea that modern life presents particular challenges to the ADHD brain and that talking openly with patients and their families can guide thinking towards strengths and solutions, rather than negatives.
