Join us for an insightful and practical webinar on empowering children with ADHD to build healthy habits for life! Dr. Erin Schoenfelder Gonzalez will dive into the latest research on key health behaviors—physical activity, screen use, and sleep—and their impact on executive functioning.
Through evidence-based strategies and innovative tools, including parenting interventions and mobile health technologies like wearables, you’ll discover actionable ways to support children in improving focus, mood stability, and overall well-being. Designed for mental health professionals, this session will equip you with practical techniques and treatment tools to make a lasting difference in the lives of children with ADHD.

About the session
ADHD is the most common behavioral disorder in children, and when untreated, it is associated with risk for unhealthy behaviors and poor mental and physical health outcomes. Physical activity, screen use and sleep are three health behaviors that are strongly interconnected with executive functioning and ADHD and can be improved with behavioral strategies. This talk will share recent research on promoting health and wellness in young people with ADHD. We will focus in particular on interventions that improve health behaviors in addition to daily functioning for children with ADHD using parenting strategies and mobile health tools such as wearables. We will also dive into free treatment tools that clinicians and families can use to teach and practice healthy behaviors. Ultimately, we will explore the benefits of paying attention to and supporting healthy behaviors that lead to better focus, stable mood and success across throughout the lifespan.
Learning objectives
1. Understand the connection between ADHD and both healthy and risky behaviors
2. Recognize evidence-based strategies to promote healthy behaviors and mental health in children with ADHD
3. Use clinical tools for supporting healthy exercise, screen use and sleep in children with ADHD
