At Duke, we provide a variety of therapy groups to help patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their families learn to live successfully with this disorder.

Adult Coping Skills Group

The Duke ADHD Clinic offers an Adult Coping Skills group for adults with ADHD. Our six-week program focuses on understanding ADHD and improving organization, time management, communication skills, and interpersonal relationships. This program is held every fall and spring.

Enrollment is currently open for the Adult Coping Skills group starting in the fall of 2011.

Parent Group

The Duke ADHD Program is offering a Parent Group to help parents of third to fifth grade children with ADHD learn new behavior management strategies.

The eight-week program includes topics such as understanding ADHD and behavior change principle, positive reinforcement and enhancing parent-child relations, and supporting success with peers.

A Child Coping Skills Group will be offered for children whose parents are participating in the parent group. 

Enrollment is currently open for the Parent Group beginning in the winter of 2012. For more information, please contact Naomi Ornstein Davis, PhD, at 919-681-0011 or naomi.davis@duke.edu .
