When a family is faced with ADHD, the challenges seldom end at the point of diagnosis or medication. ADHD is a condition that impacts the lives of children and their families in a multitude of ways beyond just the physical. The effects of ADHD can lead to learning disabilities, difficulties in developing and maintaining relationships, anxiety and depression, and a whole host of other emotional problems. That’s why treatment often requires additional support such as personal counseling to help individuals and families cope.
The Bayridge Family Centre, located in Burlington, offers a range of counseling options to help individuals and families manage difficult situations that stem from ADHD. Services are offered throughout the Toronto and western GTA area, either in person or by phone.
The Centre uses a comprehensive treatment plan that considers all the factors that affect an individual’s well-being. These include medical, psychological and physical components. The professional team at the centre is made up of doctors, therapists, coaches, dieticians and other support staff who work together to offer tailored supports.
Support can be just as important for those who don’t actually have ADHD. Parents of children with ADHD often suffer from tremendous stress, frustration and anxiety. Every parent wants the best for their children but it is often difficult to know how to provide for them. Working with professional counselors can help to alleviate concerns, conflicts and stresses. Counseling options include sessions individually for children or for parents. There are also options for joint counseling.
To help families who may find it difficult to afford such comprehensive assistance, the Centre offers sessions facilitated by interns at about half the cost of fully-certified professionals. For those who do need more intensive treatment, the Centre has an impressive array of highly qualified staff, many who are specialists in dealing with the issues related to ADHD.
