Meeting places and time vary. Please contact the group to confirm places and times. If there is no support group in your area, consider starting an ADHD support group. Since most of these group are volunteer run organizations, please try and help the group leaders by volunteering some of your time. One reason ADHD support groups shut down is because the people running it get burnt out because they're often doing most of the work themselves.

If one of these groups has changed their contact information and you want it updated please let me know. Also, if you know of any ADHD support groups in the Lower Mainland that aren't listed here that should be, please email me
