Since ADHD is a lifespan disorder, we are including on this page not  only support groups for adults but also support groups for children and parents.  Some groups are for adults only, some are for parents of children with ADHD only, but there are some groups that run separate sessions for both.  We suggest that you contact the leader of the group before attending to make sure the group suits your needs.

Please note that some of the groups listed below charge fees for attendance, and some are run by professional coaching services or other kinds of training programmes.

If your group is not listed here, and you would like it to be added, please send your group’s contact details to the following email address: aadd.org@googlemail.com. And if there are no groups in your area and you would like to start one yourself, let us know and we will provide you with advice and information.
