ADHD and young people in contact with the law
KEY EXPERT SPEAKER FOR THIS EVENT
Dr Joey Q Le
Psychiatrist
Dr Joey Le is a child and adolescent and forensic psychiatrist who works in NSW and ACT.
In this talk, he explores some of the challenges that young people with ADHD have when they come into contact with youth justice services. Despite the difficulties, Dr Le argues that there remains many reasons to be hopeful, and that supporting young people with evidence-based interventions for ADHD is essential to keeping them out of custody and to help them return to a normative developmental trajectory.
