Understanding ADHD: Identification and Treatment Across the Lifespan
Friday, October 30, 2026 • 10:00 am – 12 pm EST • 2 CEU Credit Hours
Live Webinar on Zoom (Register to receive login information)
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common mental health diagnoses and is over-represented in clinicians’ caseloads, yet can be easy to miss behind other comorbidities and conditions. Fortunately, diagnosing ADHD accurately and treating it effectively will likely benefit the comorbidities that often accompany ADHD.
Dr. Ari Tuckman will present strategies to prepare clinicians to identify those children, youth, and adults with ADHD who are already in your caseload and to provide more effective interventions. Knowledgeable clinicians can address not only the specific executive function deficits that impact every aspect of daily functioning, but also the many ways that it can shape an individual’s approach to the world. Dr. Tuckman will examine how to help clients think through the decision to try medication and how to facilitate their appointments with a prescriber. Finally, we will discuss how to help families, couples, and adults with ADHD approach daily challenges more effectively and with a more resilient mindset.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be better able to:
- Identify existing clients who exhibit symptoms of potential ADHD.
- Explain the role of medication in the treatment of ADHD, including the benefits and side effects, to assist clients to make well-informed and well-considered choices about treatment options.
- Utilize effective responses to the maladaptive dynamics and habits that are common to those with ADHD so they can develop a more resilient mindset.

Podcast: Spirituality Near the End of Life
Rabbis, chaplains, and social workers are often called on to provide spiritual care near life’s end. Whether in response to serious illness, advanced cognitive or physical decline in old age, or unexpected, tragic violence, health care professionals and clergy need to respond compassionately and effectively with families facing spiritual, emotional, and existential crises. Clips from Wurzweiler School of Social Work’s “Spirituality Near the End of Life” Conference in July 2019 include leading clergy, chaplains, and social workers offering their knowledge, skills, and wisdom to assist professionals seeking to better integrate spiritual care into their professional and community work.
