ADHD Education and Support Group

Troy, OH

 

Swank Counseling will offering a free monthly ADHD* Education and Support Group.   Mr. Swank will function as the convener and leader. There will be a goal of having speakers, or specific topics for each meeting.  As topics are determined, they will be posted on this website.

* ADHD is used to include those with Attention Deficit Disorder with hyperactivity as well as the inattentive type, sometimes called ADD.

Where: Troy Hayner Cultural Center, West Main Street, between the library and the Court House in Troy, Ohio

When: 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7:00-8:00PM. Then some time for questions. We often have discussions until about 8:30 pm, but we take a break about 8:00pm if you need to leave.

Cost: Free, but please call 937-339-9876 to reserve a seat, as space is limited.  (We have room for about 35).  If you call, please come. If you find that you are then unable to attend, please have the courtesy to call to cancel your indication of attendance, so others are not turned away.  You may also register by email. You can also sign up for email reminders. |details|

For whom: For parents of those with ADHD, adults who have ADHD, as well as professionals working with those who have ADHD. We do not have facilities to have children present.

Format: There will be a presentation of a topic related to ADHD, and then some time at the end for questions and answers. The goal will be to focus on topics that most people will find of value. We will avoid spending a lot of time talking about a specific person or family that does not have some general educational benefit for all. Question and Answer time will be structured so that the group does not deteriorated into a gripe session or an "ain't it awful" complaint time. A support group is not a substitute for professional care.
