Volunteer Opportunities:

My Story:
18 years ago my family was under tremendous stress and turmoil. I thought because I was a nurse I could handle raising my children with ease. I was so wrong. My husband and I were at odds with each other on how to raise our son with AD/HD and how best to help him. We needed help! We by accident found CHADD. CHADD litteraly saved our family from destruction. I became educated and empowered to manage my son's issues and help the family lessen the stress. We all started working together, thanks to CHADD!.
I immediatly became a volunteer. The best way to learn is to become invlolved.
Your chapter needs you. In order to continue to provide the servies we have provided for Suffolk County for the past 18 years>>> we need your help!
