Yes. If your psychiatrist and family doctor in Ontario have mainly prescribed ADHD medication, CADDAC can still help with education, peer support, and resource navigation, because that is what the charity is built to do. CADDAC does not replace those clinicians, does not write prescriptions, and does not run an OHIP ADHD clinic. Its published offerings have included adult, youth, and parenting education, peer-facilitated support groups, group coaching, webinars, conferences, and an ADHD Resource Navigator who helps people identify local ADHD and mental health resources. Program mix, fees, and hours change, so the live About and Programs pages are the source of truth.
Rules, coverage and referral pathways vary by province and can change; confirm the current position with the relevant institution or provincial program.
