Thriving with ADHD: a wellbeing workshop for Birkbeck students with confirmed or suspected ADHD
When:
—
Venue:
Online
This is the fourth of six workshops over the academic year: there will be two per term, one in-person and one online. You can attend as a one-off, but we encourage you to attend as many as you can, and use them to build your resources.
The workshops will use a mix of slides, example case studies and reflective discussion: you will able to raise your own questions throughout. The aim is to provide an informed and supportive forum for students who might be struggling with issues like:
Difficulty focusing on a task
Difficulty prioritizing and poor planning
Trouble following instructions and completing tasks
Trouble multitasking
The workshops will also consider some of the emotional effects of living with ADHD, that can include: anxiety, procrastination, perfectionism, self-criticism and burn-out among others.
Workshop Structure
The workshops will be a combination of skills-based information about how to better manage these difficulties and a reflective space to acknowledge the impact that these struggles might have on your academic experience and your emotional wellbeing.
We believe in the power of groups to effect change and to learn from each other's experiences.
What this session is not
This is not a diagnostic or clinical session. We will not be able to advise you on how to get a diagnosis, medication and treatment or any other medical issues.
