• This group is for ADDA members that are parents raising children.
• We invite parents who have ADHD and/or parents of children who have ADHD.
• Raising children is challenging… raising children with ADHD (yours and/or theirs) is even more so!

ADDA’s Parent Support Group offers:

•  phone-accessible encouragement;
•  the ability to source other parents facing similar challenges;
•  the comfort that comes from knowing you are not alone.

We encourage parents through active sharing.  During each session we offer relevant information on a multitude of parenting topics such as the impact of social skills as well as information on Executive Function skills including:

• emotional regulation
• time management
• organization

This is a safe, non-judgmental space for sharing tips, tools, strategies, and/or frustrations.
We are committed to attendees feeling more understood, less alone in their parenting struggles, and more equipped and empowered to be the parent they would like to be.
