What we’re about
CHADD is a national non-profit organization committed to providing education, advocacy and support for individuals who have ADHD, as well as, support and education for parents/educators/caregivers of children with ADHD. As the Denver-Metro Satellite chapter of CHADD, our goal is to create a community that provides not only educational, how-to strategies, but a also a place to feel safe and comfortable in sharing frustrations and experiences in the hopes that a nugget can be found at each meeting that will provide the refresh and reboot so many of us need.
Denver-Metro CHADD was awarded CHADD Affiliate of the Year at the annual CHADD conference in Orlando, FL, Nov 10, 2011!
The mission of Denver-Metro CHADD is to bring together a collaborative community through support, awareness, resources and education to help shape the future of our society by supporting those impacted by ADHD so they may build on their strengths, realize their full potential and foster the contribution of their talents back to their communities.
