ADDvanced Solutions helps families to grow together...

without the support from ADDvanced Solutions and the knowledge and understanding that I have learned, I am not quite sure where I would quite be.... I didn't understand my son but now I understand him so much more. The friendships I have made from coming to the Advanced Solutions groups have given me overwhelming support and they just bring so much comfort each week.

I have learned a lot of coping strategies coming here so I would definitely recommend ADDvanced Solutions for that. But knowledge is power and knowing more about it definitely makes you more able to cope with it and deal with it.
