A 7-week virtual program for ADHD or neurodiverse faculty and staff to build skills, share experiences, and create a supportive space for growth and understanding.
Whether you’ve lived with ADHD for years, were recently diagnosed, or simply think you might be neurodiverse but haven’t pursued a formal assessment, this group is here to meet you where you are. All are welcome.
Sessions are private and confidential, led by a skilled professional who also understands ADHD from their own lived experience. Hosted through UBC's Centre for Workplace Accessibility, this program is created by TideMinds Therapy Collective.
