I worked with Keith during my first semester at NSCC & he was really helpful with tips & skills to apply throughout the semester. Definitely helped with encouragement at hard times, & was great to have as a coach during school. He was great at reminding me of ways to stay on track, & get around some difficult situations. Would absolutely reccomend him & ADDvocacy!!
I had weekly coaching over Zoom from Sept - Dec with Alana Tattrie. I applied for it because I was really struggling after being hired for a work from home job. I genuinely don't know where I would be with out my sessions with Alana! I probably would have quit in a panic and fled to the woods to become a cave hermit.
During the course of our sessions, she helped me to understand where I was at w/r/t to my struggles with ADHD; and with that understanding, helped me build healthy coping strategies. I feel way more confident in my abilities to get things done and have really improved in my ability to work consistently. Its not a miracle cure - I still have bad days and good days, but I'm finding that the good days come more often and the bad days aren't as hard.
I am super grateful that I could work with Alana these past few months. For the first time I feel that I'm equipped to handle the world as an adult.
I struggle with keeping on track of my goals Keith helped me keep on top of things and keep me organized. Thanks to him I did really well in my classes can't thank him enough! Highly recommended
I worked with Keith and his team a few years ago when I went to NSCC. I have inattentive ADHD, anxiety, depression and a math learning disability just like Keith. I had just graduated high school (barely, considering that my marks weren’t the greatest) and I was at NSCC to do some upgrading courses so I could get into university/other college courses that required these better grades. My guidance counsellor in high school told me that I should probably just forget about my goal of being a dental hygienist one day because of my grades. I went from getting 50s/60s/70s in high school to getting honours that year at NSCC after I started working with ADDvocacy. A huge jump from my marks in high school. I then went onto dental assisting at NSCC and made the honours roll again. After my year of dental assisting, I then went on to Dalhousie University and did some prerequisite courses to get into dental hygiene. I finished with honours again and I ended up getting on the deans list. Now I have obtained my goal and I’m currently in dental hygiene school at Oulton College. The lowest grade that I’ve gotten so far is an 85% on a test and the rest have been in the mid to high 90s. Keith and his team definitely helped me get to where I am today and I am so grateful! ADDvocacy is amazing and I definitely recommend it to anyone out there who is struggling like I was! Anything is possible and don’t listen to anyone who says it’s not☺️
