Upcoming ADHD Support Group - Student Services at Bannatyne Campus
by RFHS Graduate Studies 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Good afternoon, Student Services at Bannatyne Campus (SSBC) is launching an in-person Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Support Group for learners of Rady Faculty of Health Sciences and the Inner-City Social Work program. Please share widely amongst your students and contacts. The ADHD Support Group is being offered Tuesdays from 4 - 6 pm at the Bannatyne Campus, from October 24 - November 14, 2023. What is ADHD? ADHD is a highly heritable chronic neurodevelopmental disorder that affects approximately 5% of adults across all genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Adults with ADHD often experience pedagogical barriers in post-secondary institutions because of their ability to coordinate Executive Functioning. Executive Functioning skills are responsible for things like task initiation, focus/paying attention, organization, planning, time management, working memory (ability to process and retain information), inhibition, and emotional regulation. While differences with attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity can make surviving academia extra challenging, people with ADHD also often have traits that add value to our world like creativity or "being able to think outside the box", passionate, loyal, excellent experiential learners, and the ability to maintain a high level of focus and dedication on the subjects that matter to them. What will it be like? This group is discussion-based, participatory and is facilitated by a counsellor from SSBC. Each of the four 2-hour sessions will involve a check-in, information and/or resource sharing, discussion and reflection, and time to try out various strategies and/or techniques chosen by the group. Who can register? This group is for Rady Faculty of Health Sciences and Inner-City Social Work students who identify as having ADHD/Executive Functioning challenges via self-assessment, MD assessment, or a formal psycho-educational diagnosis and are interested in connecting with other students, reflecting on their own experiences, and trying out some new strategies. * Participating in this group will not provide students an ADHD Assessment or Diagnosis. * We are hoping to offer another group in 2024 - please contact us to add your name to the waitlist. Registration is required and spaces are limited. Registration deadline is Friday, October 20th at 12:00 pm. Learners can learn more and register by contacting SSBC at: 204-272-3190 or bcss(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:bcss@umanitoba.ca> Please feel free to connect with any questions. We appreciate your support in circulating this information!
