Welcome!
Are you overwhelmed by parenting your child or teen with ADHD? Then you are in the right place!
The Morris County Chadd group is a parent support group for parents of kids and teens with ADHD.
Our group meets to discuss any and all challenges we face as parents. We share resources, exchange names of professionals we have found helpful, share our stories and most of all help each other to know that we are not alone.
