Our Chapter

Our chapter of CHADD provides various services which include Monthly Informational Meetings.  These are generally held the first Wednesday of every month.  These meetings are open to the public and $5 donations from non-members is greatly appreciated.  We also offer Support Groups for Adults with ADD.  And have previously offered support groups for Parents or Guardians of Children with ADHD.  While these support groups are a benefit of membership you may join us for one support group before before you become a member.

Information on our meetings as well as other scheduled activities can be found on our schedule:

Schedule

We also offer special events such as educator appreciation night, we travel to CHADD conferences and do other activities in addition to our meetings.

Please, join us for one of our meetings and see why CHADD has so much to offer in terms of information as well as the experience of our coordinators who have raised children with ADD and in some cases have ADD themselves.

South Suburban Chicago CHADD is completely run by volunteers we appreciate any donations of time or money to help us continue to deliver quality services to our members. If you feel that you have something to contribute, please don't hesitate to volunteer. Even the simplest contributions such as helping us set up chairs before an event can make a world of difference!
