Eastside CHADD: Support and information for families and individuals living with ADHD

Tuesday, November 17 Eastside CHADD presents Dr. Andrew Fleming: How to Make and Keep Friends - Skills for Teens and Young Adults from the PEERS Program.

Strong friendships and social connections are among the most important factors that influence our happiness and well-being. At the same time, the social world that teens and young adults inhabit is complex, rapidly changing, and often hard to navigate, especially when difficulty with attention and impulsivity are in the mix.

What can teens and young adults do to skillfully build and maintain social connections? How can they reduce teasing, bullying, and arguments? What about using humor effectively? Or just having a good conversation that promotes friendship?

Clinical psychologist Dr. Andrew Fleming will lead an interactive presentation of key skills from the PEERS program, an evidence-based social skills training program focused on making and keeping friends, especially for individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other similar concerns.

Eastside CHADD meets the third Tuesday of the month from 7:00 – 9:00pm, September – June (except December) Doors open at 6:30pm.

Evergreen Healthcare (Formerly Evergreen Hospital Medical Center), Surgery and Physicians Center, 12040 NE 128th St, Kirkland, WA 98034, Room TAN 101 (downstairs).
