Monthly Support Groups

Join CADDAC’s Adult ADHD Support Groups or our Parent Support Group, lead by CADDAC-trained facilitators, who are all adults with ADHD or parents and caregivers of children with ADHD.

Sessions will allow you to share your story or strategies with others who understand what it means to be an adult with ADHD, or what it means to be a parent or caregiver of a child (or children!) with ADHD.

Please note: An email will be sent a day before the session with the Zoom link.

Canadians have the right to ADHD Treatment!

• Wait times to be assessed for ADHD can be up to 2 years depending on where they live in the country.

CADDAC is asking you to take 1 minute of your time to join the campaign!
