Until very recently little research had been conducted into the effects of AD/HD in Adults. It had been thought that once sufferers reached adulthood they would, "grow out of it". Clinical observations indicate that this is not always the case.

This practical program will help couples where AD/HD type behaviour effects the relationship, their working environment, their family and social life.

Topics covered include:

• Understanding the unique behaviour patterns of relationships where AD/HD type behaviour is present.
• What is it like to be an "AD/HD Spouse"?
• Learning positive patterns of communication.
• Building trust and learning to have fun together.
• Learning techniques such as "time-out" to reduce outburst of anger and frustration.
• Learning to achieve a deeper level of intimacy within your relationship.
• Dealing with chaos, planning ahead, organisation, taking responsibility, changing unhelpful habits.

This program provides an excellent opportunity for couples to experience the support of others within the group. You are not alone, there are other couples experiencing AD/HD type behaviour in their relationship.
