US ADHD Support Groups List
US Flag via Wikipedia
Please note: Adult ADHD coach Pete Quily provides this list of ADHD support groups for informational purposes and does not endorse or recommend any specific group.
I also have listings of Canadian ADHD Support Groups as well as International ADHD Support Groups. Meeting places and time vary. Please contact the group to confirm places and times.
If there is no ADHD support group in your area, why not start an ADHD support group? Here’s how you can do it.
If one of these groups has changed their contact information and you want it updated please email me.
I’m not listing individual ADHD Support Groups in the United States, the list would be too long. Rather I’ve listed US based ADHD websites that have directories of American ADHD Support Groups by state so you can search for an ADD support group in your area.
US ADHD Support Groups
ADDA. Attention Deficit Disorder Association.
Lists Adult ADHD Support Groups by State. Go to their home page and look for support groups.
ADDA likes to keep continually changing their link structure everytime a new leader comes in who may know some things but often does not know the fundamental building block of the internet, don’t change your links or if you must, do a 301 redirect.
But they don’t. So I got tired of constantly changing dead links to their site so I don’t link to individual ADDA pages anymore. That being said, still check out their website.
CHADD. Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder.
The huge US ADHD Support Group Organization. A wealth of resources on ADHD. They were founded in 1987.
I was on the board of CHADD Vancouver for 16 years.
List’s CHADD Chapters by State. Find one near you and ask the organizer how you can help them out so they don’t burn out and shut down the ADHD support group.
Non Tradition Groups
Meetup.com
“Find Attention Deficit Disorder Groups Near You. Meet other local people dealing with ADD and ADHD. Gather to share your experiences, progress, and thoughts with one another.”
The main site is www.meetup.com It’s an informal way for people in a specific area who are interested in a particular topic to just meet on a monthly basis in a place like a coffee shop or bar and talk about their topic of choice. I wouldn’t really call it a support group per se but more like a chat group that’s live.
Go search by country then city, then use keyword “ADHD”. They have groups all over the world. 223 ADD meetup groups worldwide.
ADD Care Meetup Group
Meet other local Parents and Caregivers of children with ADD/ADHD. Offer support and share advice with others.
Learning Disabilities Support Groups By US States
From LD America. Various LD support groups by state. 30% of people with ADHD have learning disabilities. Some groups maybe LD only some may know of local ADHD groups or have combination groups.
