_Presenting: _
"ADHD - A COAT
OF MANY COLORS"
This year we are excited to be offering 8 DIFFERENT BREAKOUT
SESSIONS that will be focusing on various topics regarding ADHD and
mental health!
Knowing is better! That’s why ADHD Awareness Month is celebrated
every October, with events and activities around the world. This year,
CHADD CHAPTERS ARE JOINING FORCES TO PRESENT A RESOURCE FAIR FOR THE
BENEFIT OF ALL FAMILIES IN VIRGINIA, District of Columbia, and
Maryland. We are especially pleased that local Chapters of NAMI -
the nation’s largest grassroots MENTAL HEALTH ORGANIZATION DEDICATED
TO BUILDING BETTER LIVES FOR THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS AFFECTED BY
mental health and co-occurring conditions - are co-hosting the 2019
ADHD Awareness Month event with CHADD.
This year’s collaboration between CHADD AND NAMI IS SIGNIFICANT.
CHADD IS A NATIONAL NON-profit, tax-exempt [Section 501(c) (3)]
organization providing education, advocacy and support for individuals
with ADHD. Its mission is to ‘improve the lives of people affected
by ADHD’. This includes not only providing support relating to the
challenges of ADHD, but also acknowledging that more than two-thirds
of people with ADHD have at least one other co-occurring condition.
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s
largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building
better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental health
conditions. A national non-profit, tax-exempt, registered 501(c) (3)
organization, NAMI’s mission is to serve the 1 in 5 people who will
live with a mental health condition during their lifetime through
education, support and advocacy.
Just as untreated ADHD can present challenges in everyday life, other
disorders can also cause unnecessary suffering in individuals with
ADHD and their families if left untreated. Individuals living with
ADHD, mental health conditions and co-occurring conditions can move
toward wellness with effective treatment, understanding and support.
Our goal is to provide attendees with the information to assist in
Building a System of Support – one that will meet their personal,
individual needs.
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR EXHIBITORS AND SPONSORS.
