The Best ADHD Support Groups

Learn Why Support Groups Are A Great Resource!

ADHD support groups are a helpful resource for individuals, parents, and families dealing with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. As a doctor who treats ADHD, and as the mother of a son with ADHD, I have first-hand experience both facilitating and benefiting from support groups in different capacities.

For individuals with ADHD, it is encouraging and empowering to meet others who are experiencing similar challenges.

Fellow support group members understand your daily challenges, and they can also offer advice and solutions. In short, there is power in numbers. For parents of children with ADHD and spouses, friends or family of those with ADHD, the same applies.

ADHD Groups

One of the biggest groups with the most helpful resources is CHADD, which has a map of support groups throughout the United States. In addition, ADD.org offers a list of adult support groups and ADDconsults.com features a live internet support chat.

Since support is offered in various forms it is only a matter of discovering which is most preferable and convenient. One of the more refreshing, yet often indirect, experiences that results from attending support groups is how empowering it is to be with others who consider the condition a gift with benefits.

Rather than lamenting the condition, most of my clients (and my son) who suffer from ADHD would not trade places with anyone else because it is a large component of their unique strengths, abilities and personalities.

Once this concept is understood and internalized, tremendous positive change occurs both in the individual with ADHD and the world around them.
