- Apr 144:00 PMHuskies on Track: Navigating ADHD at UConnMore info about SHaW's Group Sessions. (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/mental-health/group-therapy/)Huskies on Track: Navigating ADHD at UConn This group provides a space to discuss the ways ADHD can show up in your life. We'll focus on understanding how ADHD functions in the brain, navigating common challenges people with ADHD face, and talking about the emotional experience of living in a world designed for neurotypical people. The goal of this group is to help create a sense of community and understanding for students with ADHD at UConn. Example topics that the group will cover include time management, task prioritizing, and emotional regulation. All individuals who feel the group would be beneficial to them are welcome, regardless of whether they have a formal ADHD diagnosis. To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:860-486-4705). This session is held by Alyson Faires, Psy.D. For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.
