This workshop is led by Dr. Roberta Locatelli, ADHD Coach and researcher and is open to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, with or without a formal ADHD diagnosis.

While the workshop is primarily aimed at students with ADHD, students who have other conditions that fall under the neurodivergence umbrella (who might have similar executive function challenges) are welcome, as well as anyone who’s still in the process of seeking a formal diagnosis or of figuring out for themselves if they might have ADHD, or otherwise struggle with executive function skills such as attention, planning, awareness of time, working memory and emotional regulation. 

During this 3-hour workshop, you will:

• Learn about lesser-known aspects of ADHD and how they can affect your academic performance and your well-being during your studies.

• Develop effective strategies to work with your brain —not against it 

• Develop your self-confidence, identify your strengths and learn how to amplify them

• Feel less isolated, and exchange with peers your shared experiences of struggles and successes.

Please note that Roberta has asked for attendees to book a spot in advance here: https://www.divergentempowerment.com/warwick-Link opens in a new window workshop-octoberLink opens in a new window
