We have talked about ADHD in our Podcast before but more focused on Children's. Today, we have Chelsea Jones who is a Masters in Social Work Student and has dedicated a lot of time researching ADHD in Women. This is a very important topic and one many people do not know much about. Come and learn more about this topic as well as some great resources!

Chelsea Jones is currently in her final year of her Master's of Social Work degree from Utah State University. She created the “Women and ADHD” psychoeducation group at the Sorenson Center for Clinical Excellence at Utah State University and co-facilitates the class. Chelsea strives to create a safe space to talk about difficult topics and build communities of support. Her interests include navigating neurodiversity, exploring identity through a multicultural lens, and honoring the strength that each person holds.

Originally from Florida, Chelsea is the oldest of five kids and is a first-generation American. She received her B.S. in Elementary Education and worked as an educator in Idaho and Utah. Chelsea currently resides in Logan, UT where she likes to hike and explore with her husband and children. In her free time, Chelsea enjoys playing the guitar/piano, writing standup comedy, and connecting with other humans and learning about their life passions.
