The Parent Advocate

My name is Judy Bonnell. I want to share my knowledge and my experiences built up from over 40 years of parenting and advocating for my ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) children. Hopefully, what I have to present here will provide you with some tools to help your children's dreams come true.

I know it's not an easy job, but by supporting each other, we can get through it successfully. And, if you need some info or support, look for support right here at HealthyPlace.com anytime. I'll do what I can to help.

I suggest that you first become familiar with everything we have to offer. Are you ready for the journey to advocacy? Good! Then please come on inside.
