Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast series from Attitude. I'm Annie and I'm extremely

pleased to welcome John Mitchell PhD on the topic of mindfulness.

Today, Dr. Mitchell will be leading us

in a discussion of how pandemic stress specifically

impacts ADHD brains and how mindfulness is shown to reduce that stress and anxiety, plus

some creative ideas for integrating mindfulness into your busy every day.

Dr Mitchell is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry

and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center. He is an integral member of the Duke

ADHD program and has published more than 70 peer-reviewed

publications and books.

Most recently, he co-authored a treatment manual titled Mindfulness for Adult ADHD, a clinician's guide.

So before I turn over the microphone to Dr Mitchell, I just need to note a few housekeeping items. Those of you who are tuned into the live webinar, you may download the slides right now if you want to by clicking on the event resources section of your

webinar screen and if you're interested in the certificate of attendance option

They will arrive via email about an hour after we wrap up the live broadcast.

And for those of you who are listening in replay or podcast mode, you can visit attitude mag.com and search

So finally, I just want to wish a quick happy new year to everyone who's listening.
