July 10th Topic:  De-cluttering and Organizing
Nicole Mohns, professional organizer and clutter specialist will be speaking at our meeting on "Overcoming Chronic Disorganization and Clutter".   Clutter can be things, but also projects, hobbies, etc. which makes it hard to focus, stay organized, be on time and wastes relaxation and re-creation time that we all need to renew ourselves.

Please join our monthly ongoing group for adults who live with AD/HD. Our group focus is on education and identifying skills and strategies that improve our daily lives. We have a mix of dynamic speakers and workshops on creating less chaos and more joy. April Ancel, the facilitator, provides information, coaching tips, tools, strategies and educational materials. Invited speakers work with AD/HD adults in different professional capabilities.  Fellow members contribute useful strategies and share their insights of what works and what doesn't. In this uplifting and even fun atmosphere we break from isolation and form community and support. This meeting is for you if have or think you might have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), AD/HD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), learning or attention issues, including inattention and/or hyperactivity.
