North Shore ADHD Support Group Starting Up

UPDATE: Unfortunately the North Shore CHADD Vancouver satellite chapter is no longer operating. Hopefully someone will help revive it. You can still attend The Vancouver Adult ADD Support group and  CHADD Vancouver meetings

For those of you who live in the Lower Mainland, there’s a group of people on the North Shore (West Vancouver and North Vancouver) that are going to be starting up an ADHD support group for parents of children with ADD and adults with ADD. They’ll be meeting somewhere in West Vancouver.

They will be having an organizational meeting sometime in June. If you’d like to get involved in helping to create the ADHD support group or just want to show up at the meetings please contact Fran Jones. Her email is fbjones AT shaw.ca or ph 604-926-9908.

Fran helped to organize the West Vancouver ADHD conference “Supporting the ADHD Student At Home – At School – In the Community” that I spoke on Adult ADD at in March. Had a very good turnout 360 people with just advertising through the West Vancouver school board.

There was a CHADD Chapter before in North Vancouver but it folded a few years back. Hopefully those that are interested help out with the group so one person doesn’t do most of the work, thereby risking organizer burnout and group shutdown, a common thing with support groups.
