Participants will receive professional use rights to the Rooted Regulation Toolkit, which features:
Original psychoeducational graphics illustrating ADHD-related nervous system patterns
Clear explanations to support client understanding
Reflective worksheets to help personalize insights
The digital toolkit can be printed or used virtually, making it a versatile resource for psychoeducation in both in-person and telehealth settings.

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD): Clinical Insights & Support Strategies
1 hr. 15 min Recorded training available on demand
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is an intense emotional response to perceived rejection or criticism, commonly experienced by individuals with ADHD. While not an official diagnosis, it’s a term often used by clients and clinicians to describe a very real experience. In this 1 hr 15 min training, we’ll explore what RSD is, how it presents, and how to differentiate it from anxiety and mood disorders. We’ll also examine its impact on functioning and relationships, and outline a neurodiversity-affirming clinical approach for supporting clients who navigate this form of emotional sensitivity.
Training Includes:
Summary of training information, including examples of neurodiversity affirming treatment goals , objectives and interventions related to RSD, additional resources and research references
Downloadable RSD Info Sheet that may be shared with clients

Learn all about Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and how to confidently identify PMDD in your menstruating clients.

We’ll examine the frequent co-occurrence of PMDD with ADHD and Autism and explore key intersections that impact client experiences. The training also highlights the unique considerations for trans men and nonbinary individuals, as well as the intersections of race and cultural context in understanding PMDD.
After reviewing clinical implications, we’ll discuss both medical and alternative treatment options and introduce a therapeutic framework for supporting clients through intense, cycle-related mood shifts. Additionally, we’ll cover strategies to support clients in communicating with loved ones about PMDD, equipping them with language and resources to advocate for their needs.
This 1 hour 40 minute training is presented by a clinician with lived experience of both PMDD and ADHD and is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming approach.
