ADHD Skills Group Information Session

The ADHD Skills Group Information Session is a pre-requisite for registering for the ADHD Skills Group.

This is in order to encourage commitment and attendance and to maintain a mutually supportive space. It will also ensure that all participants can benefit from the skills being covered in each session.

The information sessions will be at 2pm on:

• Tuesday 12th March (Week 4)
• Tuesday 26th March (Week 6)

Please note you only need to attend one of these sessions.

The ADHD Skills Group will be facilitated by two counsellors from ANU Counselling. The group will be open to all currently enrolled students who have a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of ADHD (i.e. a formal diagnosis is not required for attendance). Each week the facilitators will present on various topics relevant to ADHD and will provide suggested strategies for you to try during the week between sessions. You will also be given the opportunity to share your experiences, tips and tricks with each other on each topic during the group. Topics covered include managing distractibility, planning and organisation, adaptive thinking, problem-solving, emotion regulation and managing procrastination.

This program will be presented in-person only and the venue will be confirmed closer to the group start date. We have the capacity to accept a maximum of 10-12 participants.
