Natural Treatments for ADHD – Emotional Regulation and Learning with Breath-Body-Mind

February 21, 2017 - February 23, 2017

$365

For educators without prior yoga training, health-care professionals, and yoga teachers.

Are you looking to make a difference in the lives of children with ADHD? Take home a toolkit of proven practices to create a compassionate environment and relieve behavioral, social, and emotional disorders for children, including at-risk youth. Interweaving experiential and didactic sessions, this program is for everyone seeking to improve well-being for youth in K–12, military families and hospitalized children, and disaster survivors.

ADHD is not just a disorder of attention and hyperactivity. It also involves social interactions, bodily awareness, anxiety, reward systems and numerous co-occurring learning disabilities. Recent research is shedding light on the role of polymorphisms (genetic variants) that help explain some of the variability in medication responsiveness and nutritional sensitivities. Brain studies showing differences in activation of neural networks are being used to improve the effectiveness of neurofeedback. Dr. Brown will review some of this important research and discuss the use of evidence-based herbs, nutrients, mind-body approaches, neurofeedback and mild brain stimulation treatments.
