Support Groups
& More
ADHD PEI has created several volunteer led groups to participate in. Our Support Groups are for those who: Have ADHD, have a loved one with ADHD, or have questions about ADHD. A diagnosis of ADHD is NOT required to participate.
I Think I May Have ADHD
Knowing you have ADHD in itself can be a feat to be reckoned with. Sometimes it's not something we even recognize in ourselves but, rather, something those around us will bring to our attention. On the other hand, sometimes our ability to mask our symptoms will make ADHD practically undetectable. Given that symptoms can be so broad and seem so common in moderation, how can one go about this journey of self discovery?
