Welcome to CHADD of Anne Arundel County, Maryland!
We're glad you're here! CHADD of Anne Arundel County has a long history of supporting individuals and families struggling with the effects of AD/HD. It is a dynamic organization that can make a big difference in your life, whether you are seeking help for yourself, a child, other family members or a friend.
We are a group of volunteers who know from firsthand experience the impact AD/HD can have on a life and a family! Our Chapter networks with local experts of all kinds who seek to provide help, support and understanding wherever it is needed. Plus our connection to the CHADD National organization means we have access to tremendous resources that none of us could possibly have on our own.
We also build awareness and understanding in the community about attention disorders to create a better environment for those with AD/HD. We provide educational presentations to schools, workplaces and other programs to bring the latest information regarding the disorder as well as interventions that work.
Please look around our website and then come out for a visit. Be sure to follow the links below and join CHADD National for all the wonderful things membership does for us all. For those who have gotten through the difficulties and been helped by CHADD, won't you please consider serving others by joining us as a volunteer - it is truly a rewarding opportunity.
Please join us at our Monthly Meetings!
If you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with AD/HD, then you may be looking for information and support. You don't have to face it all alone! Find hope, information and support at our monthly meetings among people who have been in the same place that you are now.
Our meetings are from 7:00pm to 9:20pm on the second Tuesday of each month (September through June) at Severna Park United Methodist Church. Each meeting features a Guest Speaker including a question and answer session, Parent and Adult Support Groups, and time to chat with others over refreshments. You are welcome to attend just the Parent and Adult support groups if you like which are from 8:30pm to 9:20pm.
We also offer monthly social skills support groups for kids with ADHD starting this fall. We are hoping to continue our girls social skills support group for girls in 6th through 8th grades with Catherine Lee, M.Ed., LCPC, NCC, which when re-started will meet from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm the same evening. Please contact our group leaders to verify the meeting and obtain permission to join prior to bringing your child to a group by emailing our membership chairperson, Dianna Kruszka, at mdkruszka@aol.com.
