Providing peer support for students with ADHD.
Join fellow students for a weekly peer-to-peer session for those with ADHD.
These sessions will be an informal space to share their journey and support each other.
No formal diagnosis needed.
Join the ADHD Peer Support Group!
If you have an ADHD diagnosis, have been referred for an assessment, or would like to investigate getting a diagnosis, then you are welcome to join the ADHD Support Group.
The group meets every Wednesday at 6pm in the Students' Union (in the Hive) and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking information, support, and a sense of community. Group members can share personal experiences, coping strategies, and helpful resources. It provides a platform to discuss challenges, celebrate successes, and exchange practical advice for managing ADHD in various aspects of life, such as education, career, relationships, and self-care.
The group encourages open dialogue, education, and destigmatisation of ADHD. By debunking popular myths and fostering understanding, it promotes empathy and acceptance for individuals with ADHD, helping to create a more inclusive and supportive society.
Students do not have to disclose whether they have a diagnosis and are not obliged to attend every week: students are welcome to come when they want (and when they remember). They don’t even have to be on time! It is a safe space for students to not feel the need to mask or compensate.
If you would like more information about the ADHD group, please feel free to contact me at shelley.frost@plymouth.ac.uk. Please note that this group is not run by the University of Plymouth.
If you have an ADHD diagnosis or have been referred for an ADHD assessment, make sure to speak with Student Services about disability support. To contact Student Services, you can call 01752 587676, email studentservices@plymouth.ac.uk or visit them in the Student Hub in the library.
