Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.

Parent Resource:
Investing in resilience • Teach them that life isn’t fair. Share stories from your own experiences. • Embrace the mistakes – this allows for learning. • Build strong emotional connection with you kids and help them to unpack what is going on to ensure they don’t learn the wrong lessons. • Encourage healthy risk taking. • Resist the urge to fix it. Ask questions instead. • Deliberately hunt out the good in their life and help them to do the same. Gratitude journals are great for this, or it can be a daily dinner table/car ride conversation. • Model resilience in your own life.

In this episode, you’ll hear from my friend, Bill Parker, Mental Health Counselor, from Experience Matters Counseling / West Palm Beach, Florida. Bill helps us understand, and deal with the challenges of adult ADHD.
In adults, the main features of ADHD may include difficulty paying attention, impulsiveness and restlessness. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Many adults with ADHD aren't aware they have it — they just know that everyday tasks can be a challenge.
 www.experiencematterscounseling.com

Special thanks to Tammy Arlin, and Barry DeHart for sharing their story about adult ADHD in the episode intro.

What is Adult ADHD?
Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Adult ADHD can lead to unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems.
Though it's called adult ADHD, symptoms start in early childhood and continue into adulthood. In some cases, ADHD is not recognized or diagnosed until the person is an adult. Adult ADHD symptoms may not be as clear as ADHD symptoms in children. In adults, hyperactivity may decrease, but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness and difficulty paying attention may continue.
Treatment for adult ADHD is similar to treatment for childhood ADHD. Adult ADHD treatment includes medications, psychological counseling (psychotherapy).

MORE INFORMATION-
-Casa of Hope is an anti-human trafficking agency dedicated to providing safe housing support to sexually exploited women, educating communities, outreach, and bringing awareness in an effort to combat modern-day slavery of men, women, youth, and children.
​-At Casa of Hope we know human trafficking can be a dark and uneasy topic of discussion, however the reality is communities are being targeted all over the United States and abroad.  Because it's happening in our own backyards, we desire to educate communities on the various forms of trafficking as well as potential influences.  Because we know it could be our neighbor's daughter, a co-worker's niece or nephew, a friend's grandchild, we want the community to be aware of various traps traffickers may use through force, fraud, and/or coercion to enslave victims.  Because of the day and age we live in, we want people to be aware of the different avenues such as technology and games in which a child, teenager, young person, or adult can find themselves facing, such as a life of slavery in the sex industry.
