Psychoeducational Groups for Adults With ADHD

The group-based psychoeducational program consists of 10 sessions, run over 10 consecutive weeks. Each session consist of a lecture, given by a recruited expert on the topic of the session (20 minutes) with a following discussion of the topic (45 minutes), facilitated by the course leader. All sessions are organized and led by the course leader, which also includes keeping structure in time, discussion and closing of the session. Psychoeducation comes in addition to standard treatment (ADHD treatment as usual).
