Who is Grace da Camara?

Grace is a registered psychologist specialising in the impact of ADHD on families. She works with children of all ages, their parents, and families, as well as partners of individuals with ADHD.

As a parent to a child with ADHD, she recognised the need for greater knowledge and education about the condition and the need for interventions that target not only the individual but the family.

Grace is skilled in various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. She mostly adopts an eclectic approach – understanding each client as unique with their own particular presentation and then selecting from evidence-based techniques across different approaches to help the client develop a better understanding of their challenges and grow in a personally meaningful way.

Grace is the author of What Lies Beneath Matters, a series of self-help workbooks for children and adults with ADHD, as well as for parents. Her co-author is her daughter, GP Madalena Bennett.

What are the benefits of group therapy?

While no studies have directly compared group to individual CPC interventions, specific therapeutic benefits are associated with group therapy in general. Researchers suggest that positive peer support among group members can increase families’ engagement with the program, attendance, and the shaping of parent behaviours (Borrego, Urquiza, Rasmussen, Zebell, 1999; Webster-Stratton & Hammond, 1997).

In fact, 92% of parent participants in a study examining CPC therapy indicated that the group helped them feel less alone. Group treatment provides parents with opportunities for socialisation, feedback regarding socially appropriate behaviour, and role-playing of desired peer and parent-child interactions.

Groups also provide opportunities for peer modelling, reinforcement and leadership (Flannery-Schroeder & Kendall, 2000). Group interventions can also help to ensure that more families will have access to specialised group interventions and may be particularly useful in rural areas where mental health services are generally not in abundance.

The Founders of the ADHD Foundation created ADHD Foundation Australia in 2017 in order to provide the missing link, (a national community support, referrals, information and services charity). A National ADHD central starting point where help is available for adults and families affected by ADHD who are struggling to get the help they need. The service offers support to medical professionals and allied staff when called upon.
