Our Lady of Peace to Host Seminar for Parents on Managing Symptoms of ADHD

Louisville, Ky. (November 11, 2015) —The Kosair Charities Children’s Peace Center at Our Lady of Peace, part of KentuckyOne Health, will host a free seminar to inform concerned adults about the impacts Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can have on children. The seminar will be held at Brandeis Elementary School (located at 2817 W. Kentucky St. in Louisville) on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 6 p.m.

The seminar will explain how ADHD can control children and teens beyond impulsivity, hyperactivity and inattentiveness and how to properly manage the symptoms. The program will be led by David Houvenagle, a licensed clinical social worker at Our Lady of Peace.

The seminar is part of Our Lady of Peace’s Peace for Parents education series. Peace for Parents is open to parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors and other concerned individuals that would like to learn more about how to face challenging issues with children and adolescents.  The seminars usually last 60-90 minutes and include a question and answer period.

Participants are encouraged to register for the program in advance. Registration is free and can be done by contacting Greg Oerther at 502.479.4266 or [email protected].

Another upcoming seminar will take place on November 20 at Olmsted Academy South and will focus on Tips for Preventing Your Teen from Engaging in Negative and Destructive Behavior.
