About Me
Hi - I’m Vivian - the Founder of ADHD Support Australia and your presenter for this course.
I'm a Certified Tech Addiction & Digital Health Educator (NIDHW), certified facilitator of the Parenting Children with ADHD course which I've been running face-to-face since 2015, I hold a Masters of Teaching (Primary), am a former Raise Mentor, certified PEERS adolescent & young adult social skills coach, ADDCA trained ADHD Coach, mental health first aider, Lifeline accidental counsellor, passionate ADHD advocate, health & wellness geek and most importantly, an experienced ADHD mum (and adult with ADHD).
I’ve navigated my way through all aspects of raising a daughter with ADHD (& much more), into a healthy, beautiful young adult human.
Since 2013, when I started a local ADHD support group, my passion has been supporting others on the same journey using the benefit of the knowledge I’ve picked up along the way.
My journey continues still as I learn what it means to parent a young adult with ADHD and navigate my own ADHD too!
When I'm not running ADHD Support Australia, you’re likely to find me at the farmer’s market shopping for organic produce, walking barefoot on the beach, out in nature or in my garden, soaking up some Vitamin D with my cat while researching all things health, wellness & ADHD.
I’m a podcast/audio book junkie because I just love to learn and listening allows me to find time to maximise my daily knowledge fix.
I provide some introduction to myself in the 'Welcome to Digital Parenting Program'.
