ADHD, Substance Use, and Addiction-Hybrid Event!

****Disclosure: This session will not tell you can do to fix or “cure” addiction. It will
not give you strategies that work for every person, every time. It will talk about
ADHD and addiction with respect, hope, and with dignity. And it will be interactive, imperfect and even a little bit fun!

About Our Speaker:

Sean Swaby is a Canadian Certified Counsellor, Counselling Supervisor, and
Addiction Therapist. In his practice, he works with youth, individuals, and families who are navigating substance use, addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mental health challenges. He is also an Adjunct Faculty at City University in Edmonton, where he teaches the Psychology of Addictions.

Sean brings creativity into his counselling and supervision by drawing on pop
culture, superheroes, and other ‘geeky’ themes that make it more engaging and
relatable.

Outside of his professional life, Sean enjoys photography and time with his
family, and anything with superheroes, zombies, or aliens. He also volunteers with an
Edmonton-based cosplay group, suiting up as characters like Batman, Daredevil,
Captain America, and Blade to bring some fun and inspiration to local children’s
charity events. Diagnosed with ADHD about ten years ago, Sean is actively involved as a
facilitator with the Adult ADHD group.
