Where to Find Local ADHD Parent Support Groups 

Local ADHD parent support groups can often be found through community centres, schools, or healthcare providers. 

UK ADHD Charities  

Charities like ADDISS (The National Attention Deficit Disorder Information and Support Service) and ADHD Foundation offer local and national support. They often have resources for finding nearby support groups and offer workshops, events, and information for parents. 

Local Community Centres 

Many local community centres and health organisations host ADHD support groups for parents. These groups provide a space for parents to share experiences, strategies, and advice. You can check with your local community centre or family service organisation for group information. 

Online Directories  

Websites such as CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD) help families connect with local support groups, both in person and online. They also share other useful resources, including support for siblings and guidance for teachers. 

Schools and Educational Settings  

Many schools and educational institutions collaborate with local organisations to offer parent support groups or can connect you with nearby resources. Speak with your child’s school counsellor or special education department for more information. 

Conclusion 

Finding a local ADHD parent support group through community resources or UK ADHD charities is an excellent way to connect with others, share experiences, and gain support.
