Abstract
ABSTRACT Although the families of adolescents with ADHD are at risk of various adverse outcomes, many experience resilience processes that support the adolescent and family members to thrive. This qualitative study explored the experience and perspectives of parents and caregivers of young adolescents in Canada with ADHD and professionals who support them regarding resilience-promoting factors. Participants identified a process of Journeying Together, which described the ways that families of young adolescents with ADHD face adversities like social stigma and limited ADHD-specific resources, navigating through them to experience positive outcomes and reinforce family relationships. The implications for social workers, mental health practitioners and other professionals who work with adolescents with ADHD and their families are discussed.
