What to know
- CDC's ADHD Partner Toolkit is a collection of free resources that individuals and organizations can use and share to promote ADHD awareness in their communities.
- The toolkit features evidence-based web content, trainings, and communication strategies developed by CDC and its partners.
- You can find information about ADHD for different audiences, as well as video reels and sample social media content to support community engagement.
Overview
Each October, we observe ADHD Awareness Month, but this toolkit can be used to support communities year-round! CDC continues to learn about ADHD and share information as part of our ongoing commitment to building 'A Community of Support.'
ADHD symptoms start in childhood and often continue into adulthood. The way ADHD impacts daily living may change across a person's lifetime, and needs for support and treatment may differ for adults and children.
Use and share this toolkit to help raise awareness about ADHD in your community.
