Scan the templates and pick one that fits the upcoming holiday or occasion. Customize the template if needed to reflect your community's style or the specific event. Post in your main feed or group chat, and pin it to maximize visibility. Respond to members' comments to encourage deeper sharing and thank them for participating. Rotate holidays and cultures to ensure inclusivity throughout the year.
On all platforms, use clear, concise language and add a festive image or emoji to make posts stand out. Pin or highlight the post during the holiday period. For chat-based platforms, repost or bump the thread to keep it visible. On forums, tag or categorize the post under 'holidays' for easy searchability.
Use posts that acknowledge common ADHD challenges during holidays, such as overstimulation, disrupted routines, and time blindness. Incorporate content that offers coping strategies, sensory-friendly celebration ideas, or validation for feeling overwhelmed. Posts with calming visuals, step-by-step checklists, and reminders about boundaries can be especially supportive.
Try posts like 'What's one ADHD-friendly holiday shortcut that saves your energy?' or 'Share your favorite way to avoid last-minute stress!' Give concrete examples, such as using timers for shopping or prepping low-effort meals, to inspire responses and help members feel understood.
Acknowledge in your posts that holidays are not universally positive and that some ADHDers may have complicated feelings about family gatherings or traditions. Offer alternative celebration ideas, solo self-care suggestions, or prompts like 'What's your favorite way to make the holidays ADHD-friendly for yourself?' to foster inclusivity.
Absolutely! Integrate visual reminders, countdowns, and checklists into your posts, such as 'One week until...' graphics or '3 quick reminders before the holiday break.' You can also create posts that encourage members to set phone alarms or calendar alerts for events or self-care activities.
Craft posts that normalize and validate these experiences, using humor or relatable anecdotes. For example, 'Poll: Who else has wrapped gifts in grocery bags?' or 'ADHD confession time: What's the latest you've ever sent a holiday card?' This helps reduce stigma and fosters a sense of community.
Post open invitations for virtual co-working sessions (body doubling) around common holiday tasksβlike decorating, organizing, or wrapping gifts. Offer low-pressure check-in posts: 'Drop an emoji if you finished one holiday task today!' Emphasize progress over perfection and celebrate small wins to keep motivation up without overwhelming members.
