Teaching Teens Adaptive Skills

5 Free Skill-Building Sessions for Teens (Ages 12-16) Participating teens receive 5 brief sessions with a counselor to build skills like problem solving, recognizing

emotions, self-image, and dealing with peer pressure. These sessions are provided free of charge.

Helping Teens Make Healthy Choices The ATLAS Project is designed to help teens with ADHD learn strategies to be successful when faced with

challenges such as getting along with teachers, friends, and parents and keeping up with homework and

grades.

The ATLAS Project is part of a research study at the Center for Children and Families at Florida International

University. The goal is to find the best way to support teens with ADHD as they navigate these tough situa-

tions and to prevent problems with alcohol and other drugs.

Continued Follow-Up Families will participate in occasional follow-up visits for 2 to 3 years to monitor progress. Some teens and

their parents may receive additional sessions and some teens will receive medication for ADHD.

Parents and teens will each receive $25 gift cards for participating in the initial assessment and again at

follow-up visits.
