ADULTS WITH ADHD SUPPORT GROUP
(For adults with AD/HD)

For further meeting information, contact dauphin-county@chadd.net

Receive helpful information about ADD treatment and emotional support from others who attend. We all know how difficult it can be to find help. Please come and bring anyone else who is interested.

Do you need immediate assistance?

As a volunteer, I may not be able to get back to you if you need immediate assistance.

If you are seeking information for something that is time-sensitive (such as an IEP/Section 504 meeting at your child’s school), or are looking for a local professional with AD/HD expertise, please contact CHADD’s National Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC), online at www.help4adhd.org or by phone toll-free at 800-233-4050 (press option 2, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm Eastern time).

The NRC is staffed by trained health information professionals who can answer many of your questions about AD/HD and provide other helpful information and resources. (NOTE: the NRC does not provide legal or medical advice, but can offer ideas and suggestions to help you find what you are looking for).

Disclaimer: CHADD does not endorse or represent products, services, publication, medications or treatments. Meetings are free and open to the public, although membership with CHADD is strongly encouraged, since your local group will receive a portion of your dues to continue supporting your community.

Volunteer Opportunities:

We welcome all parents or other individuals who share an interest in the importance of continuing this important endeavor.

Volunteer participation is of upmost importance to keep these support groups active.

Remember these groups are about YOU and active participation is critical in keeping them going.

If you can participate in any way, please contact us at dauphin-county@chadd.net and indicate your interest in either the Harrisburg AD/HD Support Group (for parents/caregivers of children) or the Adult AD/HD support Group (for the adults).

We look forward to hearing from you.
