Volunteers from my Vancouver Adult ADD Support Group and I have had a great response by Lower Mainland BC Libraries in participating in raising awareness of ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder for ADHD Awareness Week Oct 14-20th.
We did this last year and we’re doing it again this year, asking Libraries and bookstores in BC’s Lower Mainland to have ADHD Book displays to raise awareness of ADHD in BC.
They’ll consist of ADHD books, books by authors who have ADHD, our ADHD Awareness Week Poster and Brochures on the only 2 ADHD support group in all of BC, My Vancouver Adult ADD Support Group and CHADD Vancouver.
I’ve created a new blog BC ADHD for it, has more info about the campaign and information on Getting Real about ADHD. We are encouraging people to learn the facts, myths, stigma and economic impacts of ADHD in adults and children.
We’ve got information on the site and will soon have our poster and brochures for people to download and share.
Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Delta, Hope, Maple Ridge, New Westminister, North Vancouver City and North Vancouver District Libraries Will Have ADHD Awareness Week Book Displays
