I also have listings of International ADHD Support Group Links , US ADHD Support Group Links and Canadian Mental Health Association Branches. I list the CMHA branches because they may know of local ADHD support groups or other ADHD resources in their area. You could also try your local chapter of the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada or the psychiatry department of your local hospital to find an ADD support group near you.

Please note: Adult ADHD coach Pete Quily provides this for informational purposes and does not endorse or recommend any specific group.

If there is no support group in your area, consider starting an ADHD support group.

National ADHD Support Group

They have chapters in communities across the nation, where meetings are held. They also sponsor various workshops, presentations and conferences distributing the latest breakthroughs, and techniques involved in dealing with ADD.

They have chapters in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. I'm on the board of their Vancouver Chapter.
