ADHD Strategies for Everyday Life: A Community Workshop
Living with ADHD can shape every part of daily life — from work and study to relationships, organisation, emotional regulation, and simply getting through a day without feeling overwhelmed. While medication can be incredibly helpful for many people, it is never the only tool available.
That’s why we recently hosted a free community session on ADHD Strategies for Everyday Life, held at The Nest at Live Well, Burnie.
The workshop was designed to offer practical, evidence-based techniques that support daily functioning, build confidence, and make everyday tasks feel more manageable.
What We Covered
During the session, we worked through strategies that go beyond medication, including:
grounding and sensory regulation techniques
tools for improving focus and reducing task overwhelm
simple executive-function supports that actually work in real life
ways to structure tasks and reduce cognitive load
communication strategies for work, study, and home
approaches to motivation that honour ADHD neurology rather than fight it
Participants had the chance to try interactive activities, ask questions, and share experiences in a supportive environment.
Why This Matters
ADHD is common, widely misunderstood, and often under-recognised in adults — especially in women and people who have learned to mask or compensate.
Practical strategies can make a significant difference in:
reducing stress
improving productivity
strengthening relationships
increasing a sense of autonomy and self-trust
Workshops like this also help build community. Many attendees shared that simply being in a room with others who get it was reassuring and validating.
About the Facilitator
The workshop was facilitated by Sefronia, a local Nurse Practitioner and Credentialled Mental Health Nurse specialising in neurodiversity, mental health, and lifestyle medicine.
Her approach integrates clinical expertise with practical, hands-on techniques that support real-world functioning.
Future Sessions
If you missed this event, we’ll be offering additional workshops and community sessions throughout the year — covering ADHD, emotional regulation, neurodiversity, lifestyle medicine, and nature-based wellbeing.
