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.
