Join CHADD and Partners in PROMISE during National Veterans and Military Families Month to explore how ADHD affects military families. You’ll learn about available resources and how to access the support your family needs.

We’ll discuss practical strategies to manage ADHD when facing the unpredictability of military life and barriers to access. We’ll outline how to build and maintain an ADHD-informed support network. Our conversation will also cover strategies for sticking to routines and maintaining school supports through PCS moves, deployments, and other transitions.
