In 2004, ADHD Awareness Month began as a collaboration of mental health organizations, and was designed to allow the public to learn about ADHD and resources that can help manage it. The current mental health organizations involved in ADHD Awareness Month include:

• ADHD Coaches Organization
• Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA)
• Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD)
