Advocacy

Turning awareness into action.

Through community seminars and national advocacy, I work alongside families, educators, and leaders to create fair, inclusive support systems for children with ADHD — starting locally and reaching nationwide.

Advocacy is the heartbeat of ThriveMind. With every conversation, email, and initiative, I believe we are building momentum for lasting positive change.

Summer seminars that empower families.

Since 2024, I have co-organized and presented seminars in the Dallas–Fort Worth area to empower children with ADHD and their families.

Art Therapy for ADHD

with artist Nita Patel

This fun, hands-on session lets children explore how art can help with focus and relaxation as they navigate their neurodivergence.

ADHD & School Life

with psychologists and counselors

Parents and children are informed about advocating for themselves in a public-school setting.

Succeeding in School

time management & study strategies

Children explore the causes of ADHD and learn hands-on time-management techniques. Because diet plays a critical role in exacerbating or calming ADHD symptoms, practical dietary advice is given through interactive games.

Be Great with ADHD

motivational session with youth coach Hiten Bhatt

Designed to empower each child to advocate for themselves, build self-confidence, and encourage teamwork — helping children view their neurodivergence as a gift.

A petition for equity.

In 2024, I launched a Change.org petition to highlight disparities in ADHD diagnosis and treatment across the U.S., especially among minority and low-income communities.

Research shows:

  • Hispanic children are less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD or prescribed treatment compared to white peers.
  • Regional differences persist, with children in the South and West more likely to receive stimulant prescriptions.
  • Biases and cultural stigma disproportionately affect minority families.

Sign the petition and help us push for systemic reforms — better training for educators and doctors, culturally sensitive diagnostic tools, and equitable care for all children, regardless of ethnicity or income.
