Does CADDAC offer low-cost ADHD group coaching if I cannot afford private counselling in Ontario?

CADDAC has listed group coaching among its education and support programs, which can cost less than private counselling for some people in Ontario, but it is not OHIP-insured psychotherapy and it is not a substitute for a diagnosis or a prescription. CADDAC is a national charity for awareness, education, and advocacy; it is not an Ontario hospital clinic and it does not diagnose ADHD. Group coaching, when offered, is typically skills and peer-facilitated learning rather than one-to-one clinical counselling with a regulated psychologist. Fees, eligibility, format, and whether a given cohort is running can change, and some CADDAC support groups have been described as free while other programs may have a cost, so you have to check the live Programs and Events page rather than relying on an old price. Public ADHD medical care remains provincial: OHIP in Ontario covers medically necessary physician and nurse practitioner services, not CADDAC coaching, and private counselling coverage depends on your extended health plan. Rules, coverage and referral pathways vary by province and can change; confirm the current position with the relevant institution or provincial program.
