Bouncing Back tackles Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in its latest episode, which airs Wednesday, April 9 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m.
Host Lisa Bien invites student Ethan Wasserman to share how his life has been impacted since receiving a diagnosis of ADHD in kindergarten. Ethan describes how this disorder not only made it hard for him to succeed academically, but also caused him to feel mentally inferior, which in turn damaged his self-esteem.
However, he turned his life around and bounced back after coming to Temple and utilizing the Wellness Resource Center (HEART) on campus. He has since learned how to cope with ADHD and has become a peer educator and mentor at Temple. His mission now is to educate others about ADHD.
To provide clinical and general insight into this condition, Lisa Bien invited Lauren Highsmith, a Temple alumna and current Student Resources Coordinator for the University’s Disability Resources and Services department, to the set of Bouncing Back.
