New Support Group for Parents of Kids with ADHD

Are you a parent of a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)? Do you often feel overwhelmed, stressed, and unsure about how to best support your child’s needs? You are not alone.

We understand that parenting a child with ADHD can be challenging. That’s why we have started a support group just for parents like you. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for parents to connect, share experiences, and gain valuable knowledge about how to navigate the unique challenges of raising a child with ADHD.

Meeting Details

Our online support group will meet at a time mutually convenient to registrants which we will determine during the registration process. Our clinical director, Dr. Emily Bly, will facilitate the group and guide group discussions. We welcome all parents, whether your child has recently been diagnosed or if they have been living with ADHD for years. Our group is a place where you can feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and concerns confidentially and without any judgment.

What to Expect?

In our meetings, we will have guest speakers who are experts in the field of ADHD, as well as open discussions where everyone can share their own experiences and learn from one another. Together, we can find ways to help our children thrive and develop strategies to manage daily tasks and behaviors.

We believe that having a strong support system is essential for both the child with ADHD and their parents. You don’t have to go through this alone. Join our support group and connect with other parents who understand what you are going through.

How to Join?

If you are interested in joining our support group or to find out more, please fill out this brief contact form to schedule an initial phone consult with Dr. Emily Bly who will provide you with more details and help determine if this group is the right fit for you. We look forward to meeting you and helping you on this journey of parenting a child with ADHD. Together, we can make a positive difference in our children’s lives. See you soon!

Let’s support each other and our kids with ADHD. #ADHD #ADHDparenting #supportgroup #youarenotalone
