CoP for Professional Members
ADHD WA Professional Members are invited to a quarterly Communities of Practice (CoP) events which provide an opportunity to network, share, learn and build collective knowledge amongst peers working within the ADHD field.
At our CoP events, members can engage in meaningful discussions, exchange ideas, and explore best practices in the realm of ADHD. The diverse range of perspectives and expertise within the group creates a dynamic environment where professionals can gain valuable insights, discover innovative approaches, and establish connections with peers who share a common dedication to enhancing the understanding and support for individuals with ADHD.
We look forward to the active involvement of our Professional Members in these enriching and collaborative Communities of Practice events. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of those with ADHD and contribute to the advancement of our collective knowledge in the field.
