CHADD Local Support Groups and Affiliates Need Your Support

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