Support Groups
Support groups can be a powerful source of peace, as members learn -- sometimes for the first time in their lives -that they aren't alone. A majority of these groups are run by peer however there are national organizations that sponsor regional events for education and networking. ADDitude magazine offers a number of virtual peer-support group options to its readers. These include groups for adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD, couples affected by ADHD, intellectually talented adults, and people seeking jobs.
Meetings are generally held at convenient times and locations, but online support groups exist to help those with scheduling conflicts connect with other members across the nation. A quick Google search yields numerous virtual options and new groups are being formed all the time as ADDA readers share their unique requirements and experiences. A majority of these groups are completely free but some charge a nominal fee to cover the cost of advertising and pay speakers.
