Searching for a Parents ADHD Support Group?

I live in Washington in Kitsap County which is over on the Peninsula. I've tried desperately for this past year to find a Parent Support Group Meeting for parents of children with ADHD. We moved to this area 1 year ago this month and our daughter suffers from one of the worst forms of ADHD. This is very challenging for us as Parents because she is not an easy child to parent. I myself have already raise 3 other children who are all in their mid to late 20's, but this is a first for my husband and he at times has trouble understanding why our daughter doesn't act like we did at her age. The doctor's have told us that with the type of ADHD she suffers from even though she is extremely smart acidemically she is much slower than the other children her age as far as behavior and her social skills are concerned. One of my sons also had ADHD but not as sever. We really could use some friends who are Parents in our situation. Were pretty much loners and a support grp. could help alot.

C.H.A.D.D. ADD/ADHD Support Group: Meets second Tuesday of each month at Peninsula Bible Fellowship in Silverdale from 7 - 8:30 pm. For more information call Lynn (360) 779-5362 or Kerry (360) 697-3922 or email kitsap@chadd.net.
