Webinar: Breaking the Behavior Cycle: Practical ADHD Support for Counselors & School Teams
Students with ADHD are often not set up to succeed in school environments. When support is inconsistent or poorly matched to student needs, behaviors often increase, frustration grows, and punitive responses follow. This creates a cycle that does not serve students, teachers, or school teams.
In many international schools, the challenge is not understanding ADHD in theory. The real challenge is providing consistent, culturally responsive, evidence-based support on a daily basis in systems where identification is complex, resources vary, and change is high.
This interactive one-hour session helps counselors and school staff examine the cycle between unmet needs, escalating behavior, and punitive action, and identify practical ways to interrupt it. Participants will leave with strong understanding of behavior, examples for guiding teachers who wish for support, and realistic strategies to improve outcomes for students with ADHD while strengthening staff confidence and consistency.

JFK Parentship Speaker Series: Anxiety in Kids & Teens
Support for Anxious Kids & Teens
Join Tara Eddy—JFK parent, educational psychologist, coach, and global trainer—for a 90-minute interactive workshop that demystifies anxiety and breaks down how to interrupt the anxious cycles we experience with our kids. We’ll discuss what happens when the brain’s “alarm system” is on overdrive; and unpack why avoidance brings short-term relief, but strengthens anxiety over time. We’ll explore why worrying can feel like control (even when it isn’t). You’ll leave with research-informed next steps, a fresh mindset, and simple, compassionate strategies to help you and your kids take small, confident steps forward. Q&A included.
