Reason this Action is Needed:

Families and Parents are busy and stressed with all they need to do to just get through the day. School counselors and social workers are currently overwhelmed by the sheer number of children/teens that they are responsible for serving. It is important to give parents and professionals access to well vetted, accurate and readily available information. It will be helpful to provide anyone trying to assist someone with this issue with the tips, resources and organizations that other people have recommend as being very helpful. This will make anyone using the CommunityCause.org website an instant pseudo-expert on the topic because they will have immediate access to the crowdsourced experience and expertise of others who have dealt with and successfully resolved similar ADHD/ADD issues.

Finished Product:

Helpful Tips, Resources & Advice gathered during this project will be added to the relevant website pages and Wiki pages of this website. There will be checklists of tips and advice that others have found to be helpful. Recommended organizations will be added to the Directory of Organizations on this website along with the services they provide. This will make it easier for people to find the exact organization that offers the specific services that are needed. We are striving to make CommunityCause.org an easily Searchable Website so that all individuals and organizations may derive benefit from this useful information source by just typing in a few keywords into “Search this Website” option.

By contributing your time, talent and information to this project, you will be making it easier for others to find and make use or this information in the future. Why make stressed out people search for resources when we can make well vetted information readily accessible? Our goal is to help people to find Helpful Information, Tip Sheets, Resources and Organizations more quickly and more easily. We are helping to Connect People with the Resources & Organizations that can help them with ADHD/ADD and similar issues. Thanks for sharing your information, advice and ideas on this project!
