Finding Support

This video was produced expertvillage

Confused, isolated, overwhelmed, frustrated, scared, sad, angry, hopeful, disappointed, proud, supportive, resilient, guilty, disorganized, stressed. Those are some of the emotional ups and downs that parents often struggle with. When you are isolated and don't know where to start the best thing that you can do for yourself and others is to be part of the CHADD community both online and in-person.

LOCAL CHADD AFFILIATES

CHADD currently has approximately 200 local volunteer-managed chapters and support groups nationwide. Typically, our local CHADD group volunteers are parents' of children and young adults with ADHD, and some professionals in the community that want to help. The success of these local groups depends on the energy, skill, dedication, and consistency of these volunteers. Local, face-to-face support is available to individuals living in these communities and who have the benefit of skillful and committed local CHADD leaders.

If there is not a CHADD group in your area, you may want to consider starting one.
