Mentor Mothers Program: This is a group made up of mothers of children with ADHD who are further along the path and have already gone through some of the situations that other families will go through. They are available to serve as support without judgment, listening, guiding in parenting, sharing strategies, and helping with school paperwork and questions to health professionals, among other things. They are mothers who receive training and continuous supervision from El Futuro to accompany families to advocate for their children. Learn more by watching the video below.
