Register now and we’ll send you the replay link to watch at your convenience.Black women with ADHD often live in a state of high performance and hidden (largely ignored) exhaustion — constantly managing symptoms while navigating the pressure to show up as competent, composed, and emotionally controlled.

This webinar explores the compounded impact of rejection sensitivity and double-masking, a survival strategy wherein both ADHD symptoms and aspects of cultural identity are suppressed to avoid judgment, stigma, or rejection.The session will break down how this cycle of masking starts early, how it shows up in adulthood, and its effect on mental health, relationships, and sense of self for neurodivergent Black women.

Participants will gain insight into the emotional toll of chronic masking; the generational messages that shape how Black women relate to rest, vulnerability, and achievement; and how race, gender, and neurodivergence intersect in complex, often overlooked ways.This session is for Black women with ADHD, the providers who support them, and anyone who wants to better understand how racial and gender dynamics intersect with neurodivergence.In this webinar, you will learn:Have a question for our expert? There will be an opportunity to post questions for the presenter during the live webinar.Diane Miller, Psy.

We Demand Attention on Self-Harm, Intimate Partner Violence, and Substance Abuse Among Women with ADHD
The lives of girls and women with ADHD are jeopardized by exponentially higher rates of self-harm, suicidality, and intimate partner violence, as compared with their neurotypical counterparts or with neurodivergent boys and men.“ADHD in girls portends continuing problems through early adulthood that are of substantial magnitude across multiple domains of symptomatology and functional impairment,” write the authors of the Berkeley Girls ADHD Longitudinal Study (BGALS) follow-up study.1 “The sheer range of negative outcomes is noteworthy; the most striking include the high occurrences of suicide attempts and self-injury in the ADHD sample, confined to the childhood-diagnosed combined type.”“Girls with combined-type ADHD are 2.5 times more likely to engage in non-suicidal self-injuring behavior than are their neurotypical peers, and 3 to 4 times more likely to attempt suicide,” said Stephen Hinshaw, Ph.D., lead author of the BGALS study, in an ADDitude webinar titled, “Girls and Women with ADHD.” It’s important to note, Hinshaw says, that self-harm is a “potent indicator” of future suicide attempts.This is an arresting statistic, particularly considering how self-harm and suicidality have spiked in adolescent girls in general. The most recent CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) report found that 1 in 10 girls has attempted suicide, and 1 in 3 of girls seriously considered suicide during the past year, which is an increase of nearly 60% from a decade ago.
