Caring for the Whole Person

With many therapies, the actual treatment and the problem, or part of the person being treated, are often the only concern of the treatment facility. However, we know that the disorder being treated usually has an impact on how others have treated the individual. This has often caused the individual to develop feelings of being unappreciated, unliked, and/or seen as unintelligent. We know that in addition to treating the brain, we need to re-nurture the person’s heart too. We make it a point to always treat the people we help with loving, affirming, and supportive care to restore the human heart to its proper function too.

ADHD Symptoms & Family Dynamics
