ADDA is offering a working group for ADDA+ members who are creating and refining healthy eating, exercising, and sleep habits.

This is the club for you if you are building habits like:

  •   Regular Exercise
  •   Eat better consistently
  •   Get a good night’s rest
  •   Want to share the journey with friends who are cheering you on

Eating well + getting plenty of sleep + exercising regularly =  Better ability to focus

We know the best motivator for ADHDers is strong interest, aka fun. Starting a healthy habit doesn’t have to be hard.

Healthier habits can reduce ADHD symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and distractibility. Having regular routines helps you feel like life is more manageable.

The group will focus on proven strategies and provide support to achieve our wellness goals.

We can relate to the pitfalls and hurdles ADHDers experience when it comes to starting and maintaining habits. We are right there with you.

Our paradigm:

  • Meetings are energizing and fun
  • Making connections that support you
  • No one way works for everyone

Join us on Monday evenings for ADDA’s Healthy Habits and the ADHD Brain Group – building wellness one step at a time.
