YES INFORMATION WEEKLY ISSUE 137For week ending Friday 3

rdAugust 2012

Hi, Im Brett, ADHD life coach and one half ofa partnership that has

learned to live and love in spite of issues of ADHD.

Ill be giving a talk on how you can achieve a loving and fair

relationship where there are issues of ADHD in one partner or

both. The Triad of Treatment and the 5 Pillars of Peace are

building blocks for you to begin creating your happily ever

after.

Tuesday 7 August at 7: pm,

YES Disability Resource Centre, 3 William Laurie Pl, Albany

It is not uncommon for the distractible and the efficient to find themselves in a relationship and as

in all marriages or partnerships, there is plenty of relationship work to be done. However, where

there is ADHD in one partner or both, there are extra challenges.

In this talk we meet the fictional couple, Larry and Sally, and see how they use The Triad of

Treatment and the 5 Pillars of Peace for dealing with ADHD as well as for strengthening their

relationship.

The good news is that the same committed care and consideration that it takes to meet challenges

of any relationship can have a remarkably positive effect on a relationship where there is ADHD.

My husband and I have been married for 20+ years. It hasnt always been easy dealing with ADHD,but today we live harmoniously and are the best of friends.
