Behavior:
Client appeared stressed during our 60-minute virtual session. They reported struggling with their son's ADHD and financial problems, stating "I feel like I’m constantly running on empty." Client discussed challenges with their son's focus in school and the impact of financial issues on maintaining healthcare and therapy for their son.

Intervention:
The therapist discussed the client's experience of managing ADHD and financial stress, offering reassurance and strategies for coping. Suggestions included reaching out to the school for ADHD resources and creating a structured yet flexible daily routine for their son. Emphasis was placed on the importance of self-care for the client.

Response:
Client engaged with the discussion on balancing ADHD management and financial concerns. They responded positively to the suggestions, with a noted decrease in feelings of being overwhelmed by the end of the session.

Client's homework involves exploring school resources for ADHD support and adjusting their son's daily routine. A follow-up session is scheduled for next week to review progress and continue support.

Client Session Summary:

Here's the summary of this client session. Remember, Quill does not record the client session. A therapist would provide a summary (like the one below) after the session is over.

We had a 60-minute virtual session today. Client logged in looking pretty stressed and said they’ve been struggling with their son’s ADHD on top of some serious financial problems. They said quote 'I feel like I’m constantly running on empty' unquote. They talked about how their son has been having a lot of trouble staying focused in school, and every day feels like a battle to get him to complete his homework. At the same time, they mentioned that they’ve been dealing with money problems, and it’s making it hard to keep up with doctor appointments and therapy for their son.

We spent some time talking about how overwhelming it can be to juggle both ADHD management and financial stress. I reassured them that it’s okay to feel stretched thin and that we can work on finding some balance. I suggested they start by reaching out to the school to see if there are any resources for kids with ADHD, like tutoring or extra support in the classroom. We also talked about creating a daily routine for their son—something that gives him structure but is flexible enough to account for the tough days. I reminded them to make sure they’re taking care of themselves, too, because they can’t pour from an empty cup. Their homework is to explore some of the school resources and to try adjusting their son’s routine. They seemed a little less overwhelmed by the end. We’ll check back in next week to see how things are going.
