RESOURCES and MEMBERSHIP

Do you need information and resource help? As a volunteer, we try to respond as quickly as possible to all requests about our local CHADD group.

However, if you have a more pressing need for information or assistance about the many aspects of dealing with AD/HD (including diagnosis, treatment options, educational rights, etc.), please contact CHADD’s National Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC), online at www.help4adhd.org or by phone at 800-233-4050 (press option 2, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm Eastern time).  

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

Community resources and national resources:  We have a list of local non-profit organizations, national organizations and CHADD professional and organizational members who have requested to be in our directory in the area in the links section.


Donations (tax deductible) and CHADD membership fees 
  • Parent training:  CHADD's Parent to Parent training on AD/HD. The entire course takes about 14 hours of time and is usually offered as a seven-week class, meeting for two hours once a week. Participants receive extensive materials to support them, including articles, reference materials, handouts, and homework assignments.  There is a fee for the class and it is only available to CHADD members.  You can join CHADD when you register for the class or you can join CHADD online or by calling 800-233-4050.

Disclaimer:  CHADD does not endorse or represent products, services, publication, medications or treatments.

Local Volunteer Opportunities

VOLUNTEERS:   Do you want to help, but can only offer a couple hours a month of your time?  We have some positions that are perfect for you.

HOST TEAM MEMBER: Meeting greeters.  You help to make newcomers feel welcome, assist members with sign-in, snacks, handout and membership information.  You can also assist with donations and membership fees at the meetings.  Come at 6PM, prior to the start of the meeting to be a greeter!

EDUCATORS and/or PSYCHOLOGISTS interested in "School ReachOut":  It has been our desire to encourage educators to attend our meetings and learn more about ADHD.  Because their time is valuable and they are not always available to attend our meetings, we would like to take our information to them.  If you are someone who can offer some time to take a "20-min prepared" PPT presentation to the schools for ADHD Awareness and Education, please let us know!

COMMITTEE LEADERS:  Planning Denver-Metro CHADD Community Fun Group and Family Activities, fundraisers, Membership Drives, Awareness Events, Participating in Awareness Fairs. We are seeking creative and resourceful volunteers to lead committees for these activities.  

Please send Kim an email or call at 303-753-1783 to discuss your interest in volunteer opportunities at more length.

CHADD Local Groups Need Your Support

 

CHADD has local groups throughout the United States. Each group offers programming or information specific to their geographic area. Local CHADD groups offer assistance for parents, children, young adults, adults and other stakeholders (psychologists, teachers, doctors, etc.). CHADD groups also provide advocacy, support, networking and information to those affected by ADHD in their communities.

 

Ways you can support these efforts are as follows:

 

  • Donate to this effort

  • Contact your local CHADD group to advocate for support groups

  •  Contact your school district to host and support newly forming or current groups

  • Contact your local community foundation or other foundations in your area to support this effort

 

For questions on these, or any options to support CHADD please visit our web site at https://CHADD..org or contact the CHADD National office at (301) 306-7070.
