About the group
Do you have ADHD or do you think you might have ADHD? If so, this in-person skills-based support group may be what you are looking for. This is a non-clinical, non-diagnostic group for students who are struggling with executive functioning concerns. An ADHD diagnosis is not required to join this group.
Topics will include:
- Looking at your cognitive style
- Strategies to sharpen memory
- Coping with procrastination and diistraction
- Choices and getting unstuck
- ADHD-related strengths
Group sessions are standalone. You can join at any time, and you are encouraged to attend as many sessions as you find helpful.
Eligibility
Group sessions will be held in person at UBC Counselling Services. Students will need to be on campus in order to participate in the group.
We recognize the unique individual needs of each student and will provide alternate options if group programming is not an appropriate referral option or fit.
