ADD Resources

Resources is a non-profit organization that provides education, information, referrals, and support for any adult and young adult who is exploring the issues of living with the symptoms of ADHD.
In addition, the resources and meetings are available to anyone who just wants more information about ADHD. The meetings are a great place to connect with other ADHD adults and ADHD professionals. A speaker (usually a professional from the greater Puget Sound area familiar with ADHD) is scheduled for each meeting.
Attend one of the free monthly meetings. Go to the ADD Resources website for detailed information about Groups (Parents, Adults), upcoming conferences and workshops and a wealth of resources, including a lending library with extensive collection of current ADHD literature, tapes, and videos.
