ADHD Support Group
When your child has ADHD, the stresses and the uncertainties around parenting issues can quickly grow, leaving a parent to feel unsure, frustrated, overwhelmed and sometimes quite alone.   Connecting with others who understand and have experienced the same challenges can help.  That’s why Andrea Milioticreated this group as both a mom, blogger, educational advocate & parent coach, to provide not only that important sense of community and support, but also providing accurate information and education about ADHD and how to best manage it.    
 
The support group meetings include a 30-minute social time with refreshments followed by an hour-long presentation by a speaker or panel of ADHD experts.  The meeting will conclude with a 30 minute of question and answer period.
 
Meetings will be held from 6:30-8 PM monthly at the Studio Around the Corner located at 67 Main Street, Suite 101 in Brewster, NY. A suggested donation of $10 is asked to cover costs.
