What our customers say
Anya Weber, LCSW
“In graduate school, I was taught next to nothing about ADHD. Now, I work at a community mental health agency where 15% of my clients may meet the criteria. The Empowered Pathways training opened a window into the challenges people with ADHD face and the strengths they bring to the table. I'll be putting what I learned into practice immediately.”
