Succeeding in College with ADHD

Do you have ADHD, or think that you might? Is it hard to stay focused, get motivated, or follow through on assignments? Has online learning been a challenge? This workshop will cover tips and resources to help you successfully manage ADHD and succeed in the college environment. 

Overcoming Test Anxiety

Does your mind go blank during timed tests? Test anxiety is a common experience that is very treatable with the right tools. Come learn some effective strategies for overcoming test anxiety and improving your grades. 

Procrastination

Human beings have amazing brain and behavior adaptations that make us successful in our work, relationships, and communities. Some of these abilities serve us better than others. Procrastination (not to be confused with prioritization) is a behavior unique to our species. This workshop will help you better understand why you procrastinate and offers techniques to get you out of that toxic cycle of putting off things that really matter to you. 

Resisting Perfectionism

Do you struggle with perfectionism?  Push yourself to the point of overwhelm or exhaustion?  Harshly criticize yourself for not meeting your standards?  Come learn tips and tricks on dealing with this personality trait.  

Imposter Syndrome and Creating Academic Confidence

Do you struggle with feeling confident in your assignments, or feel that you have to work harder than most to be successful? Check out this workshop where we will learn about why we experience these feelings and explore ways to feel more confident in your academic work! 

Stress Management

Stress is an important part of our lives as humans; however, we have more chronic stressors than ever before in human history and our bodies, brains and relationships are paying the price. This workshop centers on understanding the human stress response, the impact of stress, and offers empirically driven techniques to effectively manage the impact of stress.
