Mission & Vision

What we do

1. Present our message of progress through structure in these formats:

  • Seminars
  • Webinars
  • Interviews

2. Develop educational products
3. We support existing village-building organizations to reach our shared goals

The Enable Tables are erected in families dilemma-by-dilemma, fueled by low frustration tolerance of school, work, and relationship problems. Helping is part of our DNA, but we do not properly identify and seek treatment for the underlying diagnosis, ADHD. The more we help and protect we become addicted to the action, but the enabled suffer the consequences including, poorly developed executive functions, substance abuse and legal difficulties.
