Question 1

Are the Cadabam's ADHD parent support groups confidential?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a fundamental rule in all **Parent Support Groups for ADHD** associated with Cadabam’s. Members agree not to share personal information or stories discussed within the group outside of the meeting. This creates a safe and trusting environment essential for open sharing and **peer support for ADHD parents**.

Question 2

Does my child need an official ADHD diagnosis from Cadabam's to join a parent group?

Accepted Answer

Generally, no. The focus of our **Parent Support Groups for ADHD** is on the parental experience of raising a child who exhibits challenges consistent with ADHD. While many participating children will have a formal diagnosis, the key requirement is that you, as a parent or caregiver, are seeking support related to ADHD-like symptoms and challenges. If unsure, please inquire, and we can guide you to the most appropriate resource.

Question 3

How is a support group different from group therapy or family counseling?

Accepted Answer

This is an important distinction. **Parent Support Groups for ADHD** are primarily focused on **peer support for ADHD parents** – sharing experiences, strategies, and emotional validation within a community of equals. While some groups are professionally facilitated for structure and guidance, they are *not* group therapy. Group therapy involves specific therapeutic interventions led by a licensed therapist aimed at diagnosing and treating mental health conditions or achieving specific clinical goals. Family counseling involves working with a therapist on family dynamics and relationships. Our support groups complement therapy but do not replace it.

Question 4

Are there costs involved in joining these support groups?

Accepted Answer

This can vary. Some **Parent Support Groups for ADHD** facilitated directly by Cadabam’s may have a nominal fee to cover facilitation and administrative costs. Others, particularly community-based peer-led groups we recommend, might be free. We are transparent about any costs involved during the inquiry process. Please ask our care coordinator for specific details about the group you are interested in.

Question 5

How often do the groups meet and how long are the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Most **Parent Support Groups for ADHD** meet regularly, typically once or twice a month. Sessions usually last between 60 and 90 minutes. Both **online support groups for parents of ADHD children** and in-person **ADHD parent groups near me** generally follow this format, providing consistent support without being overly time-consuming. Specific schedules are provided upon joining.

Question 6

How do I find out about current groups and sign up for an online support group for parents of ADHD children or an ADHD parent group near me?
