Local Resources Help Adults Manage Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

New York, NY August 12, 2004 -- You wake up one morning to discover you’ve slept through your alarm again. You quickly throw on the suit you forgot to press and search frantically for your keys. The subway is packed. You lose your temper at some guy who stepped on your foot. No time for coffee today. You bolt into the conference room 20 minutes late – and your boss jokes that this is the earliest you’ve ever been.

Sound like a bad dream? Adult men and women living with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are used to this kind of morning. Constantly running on high speed but never catching up, their day is filled with stress and anxiety. They feel overwhelmed, disorganized, and riddled with guilt over the tasks they should be doing but can’t seem to tackle. The result? Low self-esteem and the unshakable feeling that they’ll never get their act together.

The good news is there are resources available locally to help adults with ADD become more focused, think positively, and begin to move forward in life. On Saturday, August 21st, ADD Coach Jennifer Koretsky is offering a workshop on the 8 Essential Skills for Managing Adult ADD. “The workshop teaches adults how to increase their self-awareness and become more centered and productive,” says Koretsky.

The afternoon will be packed with valuable tools and skill-building exercises designed to aid participants on their journey to managing their ADD. A previous workshop participant from Manhattan says, "The workshop was exactly what I needed. I've been trying to get tools to keep my ADD under control and now I feel like I have some direction to do that. I know what to do next."

The August 21st workshop is an introduction to the Manage Your ADD for Life! Coaching Program, a 90-day intensive program that will begin on September 20th. Features of the program include nine live workshops in Manhattan, a comprehensive workbook, individual coaching and more. Participants in the workshop are not obligated to continue onto the 90-day program.
