Teens living with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) don’t just deal with stereotypical symptoms like difficulty concentrating or fidgeting. ADHD affects every aspect of life, from school to relationships to mental health. Early support and treatment can help teens manage their symptoms and build effective coping skills. Summer treatment at Family First can be the perfect opportunity for teens with ADHD to learn and practice these skills in a supportive and understanding environment.
