Dr. Hallowell at the
Cape Cod Institute

Dear Friends,, As I write to you I am teaching a course on ADHD across the life span for the Cape Cod Institute down here in Eastham, a small town on the "forearm" leg of arm-shaped Cape Cod. My wife Sue, is with me, as she teaches one day of the course devoted to couples. We are lucky enough that each of our three kids will join us for a portion of the week. If you don't know about the Cape Cod Institute, let me clue you in. Founded by one of the grand old (not so old!) men in American Psychiatry, Dr. Gil Levin, the Cape Cod Institute has been offering stellar week-long programs on a wide array of topics related to mental health.....

Q: For students with ADHD heading off to college for the first time in the fall, do you have suggestions for keeping prescription stimulant medications secure in the dorm setting? A: It is a good idea to have a conversation with your teen before they head off to college in order to talk about this issue. Encourage your son or daughter to tell friends who ask to share their medications that these meds can be dangerous when used casually, rather than under a doctor's care, and are off limits. (Though they work very effectively to treat ADHD, they are controlled substances for a reason!) Encourage your child to not share information about meds, including their location. Only keep one month's supply. If your student is concerned that other students may "help themselves", keep a one or two week supply in dorm, the rest at the health center. (And set an alarm or reminder to go get the next two week's supply before they are due to run out!) Keep medications in a drawer, out of sight. To remind oneself to take them, put an empty daily pill box in with your toiletries or on the dresser where it will remind you each day. Learn more ways to help your freshman here and here.

ADHD & College, Parents Letting Go

 | Jack Hallowell,
a Junior at Elon University |
Going to college is a rite of passage. The time for college finally arrives, and with considerable fanfare our children go: they go away from home, friends, and family, and go toward a "grown up" life of freedom and independence. As this time arrives, parents and children often have powerful and competing urges on both sides: to hold on tight and never let go, or to sever all connections and begin anew. Of course many parents tend toward the former urge, while their adolescents yearn for the latter. Read More

But with every end, comes a new beginning and an opportunity for change. Back to school time brings bright possibilities and the chance for a clean slate to introduce new organizational strategies into your home. Organization doesn't just happen and children with ADHD need scaffolding and support to help organize themselves and their environments. Read More |
