Hello everyone! I’m Krista Forand, registered psychologist at CanLearn Society, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I’m excited to announce that we are starting a new podcast project coming this November 2018, called Brain Child. This new podcast will not only focus on topics relevant to ADHD, but also learning disabilities, Autism, child development and mental health. This year, I have the great pleasure to interview researchers from the Owerko Centre, here in Calgary, about the work they are doing related to the topics I just mentioned. So with this transition, the Inside ADHD podcast will come to an end to make room for Brain Child. But don’t worry, you can still access Inside ADHD episodes through the CanLearn website (www.canlearnsociety.ca) and through your favourite podcast player, such as iTunes. The ADHD Families team wants to thank all of its listeners for tuning in during the past 2 years and we hope that you will join us at our new podcast: Brain Child. To stay connected, visit www.canlearnsociety.ca, subscribe to Brain Child in iTunes or your favourite podcast player and follow Brain Child on Twitter. See you in November for our first episode!

If you live in the Calgary area and are interested in getting help for your child with reading, consider CanLearn's Reading Pilots program. This brief podcast provides some information about the program. A limited number of spaces are available for the program. If you and your child are interested in participating, please contact Jody Wood, Reading Specialist at JWood@canlearnsociety.ca. Have a great summer!

In this episode, psychologist Krista Forand, interviews researcher Dr. Gerry Giesbrecht, from the Owerko Centre (Alberta Children's Hospital Research Institute) in Calgary, Alberta. Dr. Giesbrecht discusses his research, which focuses on how supportive spouses can have a positive influence on infants’ stress responses. In celebration of Father’s Day this week, Dr. Giesbrecht’s research reminds us that fathers (and other partners) play a crucial role in the development of healthy stress responses in children (among other areas of development).
