Behavioural parent training (BPT) is a front-line treatment for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that teaches parents how to support their child and manage behaviour. Parents of children with ADHD who have their own elevated ADHD/depressive symptoms may be less likely connect/engage and benefit from BPT. The current study modifies a BPT program that specifically addresses peer difficulties as these are common in children with ADHD. The goal of the modifications is to enhance the treatment process (how much parents connect and engage with the treatment) for parents with elevated ADHD/depressive symptoms. The Investigators will test whether this intervention increases parent engagement/connection to the program and whether it improves parenting behaviour.
