Learning and Attentional Disorders Seminar in Australia
SGI-Australia women hosted a seminar in Perth on April 29, focusing on children's mental health and education, inviting Michele Toner from the Learning and Attentional Disorders Society (LADS) to talk about how mothers can cope with children suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Nearly 50 women learned about ways of helping children in a multidimensional way rather than just prescribing drugs, and the need for good listening skills. Several participants mentioned that before the seminar they had been judgmental of the parents of children who appear to be uncontrollable, but now they had much greater understanding of this complex issue.
