Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a Neurotype that can make it difficult to regulate focus as well as emotions. This can affect children’s learning and social skills, as well as impact family dynamics and relationships. Chillax is a fun and active six-week strengths-based skill building course for primary school-aged kids (could also be adapted for high school students) diagnosed with ADHD or who have learning disabilities similar to ADHD who might benefit.
Facilitator training is one day, 5-6 hours. A typical youth program runs 2 hours per week for 6 weeks.
(This is not a train-the-trainer model of instruction. Ken asks that all youth programs are led by a facilitator trained directly by him.)
Youth sessions, approximately 2 hours per week:
1: Cool – Understand cool and un-cool behaviours
2: Calm – Learn to calm the hyperactive mind
3: Collected – Improve focus and task completion
4: Controlled – Control impulses
5: Confident – Build competence and confidence
6: Chillaxed – Review, Evaluate, Celebrate
