I've been leading this group for the past 3 and a half years. I've really enjoyed the meetings and the people but it's been a lot of work.

While I've gotten help on our advocacy projects and some help during the actual meetings, I've been doing most of the work. So for the group to go on, I'd need some people to help carry the load by doing some of the work. ie running some of the meetings, getting speakers getting the word out, etc. Let me know if you're willing to help. Or find a new place in central Vancouver (i.e. not UBC, not boundary and broadway) near a bus stop with parking, not too expensive, and that will fit 30 people for 2 hours one evening a month.

CHADD Vancouver ADD support group meetings are happening here.

Our Purpose

The non profit Vancouver Adult ADD Support Group is the Adult ADD group of CHADD Vancouver. (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder. Ph: 604-222-4043), an international non profit group focusing on support and education and resources for children with ADD and their parents and adults with ADD. It is led by Pete Quily, Adult ADD Coach.

For the national chapters, visit CHADD. CANADA and CHADD USA.

3-6% of the adult population has ADD. Approximately 80% of adults with ADD of them are undiagnosed. Untreated ADD can lead to major negative consequences in life.

This group is specifically oriented to deal with adult ADD issues and concerns.

It is a peer support group and a forum where information about adult ADD can be exchanged. It’s a place where you can:

Meet other adults with ADD and share support and encouragement.
Share and receive tactics and strategies on coping with ADD patterns and habits.
Get current information on ADD.
Share your strengths, experiences and successes with others. See the 151 Positive Characteristics of people with Attention Deficit Disorder at www.addcoach4u.com/positivesofadd.html. (Which ones do you have?)

Meeting Info

The meetings will usually be a combination of focus on one topic relating to ADD in adults and peer support.

Confidentiality is very important; so anything that's being said during the meeting has to stay between the members. That way people will feel comfortable in sharing their true thoughts and feelings. Please join us. I'll always post the day and topic of the next meeting on this webpage.
