Library hosts NJ Center for Tourette Syndrome for family presentation on Executive Function and ADHD.
SOMERVILLE, NJ (January 17, 2025) - The New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome and Associated Disorders (NJCTS) is excited to announce a new series of Community Information Sessions this winter, designed to help New Jersey families support their mental health and well-being. One session, “Plan, Act, Achieve: Executive Function Skills for Families,” will take place on February 12, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. and hosted by the Princeton Public Library.
This session will be led by Eva O’Malley, an ADHD coach from Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD). O'Malleywill focus on practical strategies for helping children develop executive function skills, such as organization, meeting deadlines, managing procrastination, and creating effective schedules. The presentation will provide valuable insights for parents looking to support their children in navigating these challenges.
“Our goal with these sessions is to offer families valuable tools and knowledge to help manage mental health challenges and enhance everyday functioning,” said Hilary Kruchowy, Executive Director of NJCTS. “These local events also foster a sense of community, allowing families to connect, share experiences, and build a network of support.”
