Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that may impact someone’s attention, memory, language, problem-solving or social skills. This condition is commonly diagnosed in school-age children, but frequently goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to the wide variety of characteristics one might display.

ADHD Empowerment Adult Peer Support Group
-Adults (18+) with ADHD and those who are undiagnosed, but have executive function challenges, are invited to come together for support in a judgement-free environment. Some of us were diagnosed as children and others only recently. Some choose medication while others cannot or do not. Regardless of our differences, we come together united by our diagnosis, to speak directly with others like us who truly understand the experience of living firsthand with ADHD. During meetings we reflect on and share about the challenges of living with ADHD, set meaningful goals with group encouragement, and work to improve our lives. Between meetings, the group connects via its own private ONLINE group where support can be accessed 24/7 all year long. We are grateful to ADHD advocate Jessica McCabe of How to ADHD for being instrumental in helping our chapter start this group in 2018.
