We want
to start additional
Adult and Family Support Groups
in areas outside of the Wasatch Front in the near future
We have had requests to start additional
support groups: adults and family support group for parents,
family, and educators who have children or work with children with
attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder. If you have an interest in
attending please let us know by sending us an email at info@chaddofutah.com or calling
our Hot line 1-801-537-7878.
Support Group Meetings usually consist of a guest
speaker who addresses topics related to AD/HD, followed by individual
questions. Sometimes an open forum is scheduled. Literature and
upcoming event information regarding AD/HD is available at each
meeting. Drop-ins are welcome and there is no cost or obligation,
although CHADD membership is encouraged.
We are also looking for assistance in facilitating these
groups. We will train. We want to begin having support
groups in other areas of the State as well, but need assistance in
facilitating those as well.
