Group
Meeting
Guest
Speaker: Mark Brandtman
Topic
: "What we know about Adult ADHD"
Our
meetings provide a safe and comfortable setting in which to
share
experiences. Many
find it useful to join our support group where they can meet others with
similar needs. Often they carry similar emotional burdens which can be
shared within the group.
Spending an hour in
our
support group surrounded by others who are having a similar experience can
help you feel more connected.
You need to be understood and need
someone who can
identify with what you're going through, someone who knows how to care,
someone who really does understand.
Give yourself permission to not go it
alone. Join a support group, it is difficult trying to raise an AD/HD child without support. Get to know
other parents who are or have been facing the same challenges as you are. Exchange ideas and stories
and learn to "be there" for each other.
