CAS Of­fers ADHD Sup­port Group

MISHAWAKA--Do you have ADHD, think you have ADHD or have a loved one or friend who does? The Cen­ter for Aca­d­e­mic Suc­cess (CAS) is start­ing up its ADHD sup­port group once again on Mon­day, Jan. 23, at 3 p.m. in AC 221. This group will meet every Mon­day from 3-4 p.m. to talk about top­ics re­lat­ing to ADHD.  

In the past, this group has had up to 10 peo­ple in at­ten­dance weekly. CAS is hop­ing that by hold­ing the ses­sions later in the af­ter­noon, this will help cre­ate op­por­tu­ni­ties for more peo­ple to come. If you don’t have an ADHD di­ag­no­sis, don’t worry, you can still come! Some top­ics cov­ered last year dur­ing ses­sions in­cluded for­get­ful­ness, test-tak­ing strate­gies, be­ing in a re­la­tion­ship with some­one who has ADHD and much more. CAS hopes to give stu­dents prac­ti­cal tips, ideas and sug­ges­tions of apps to down­load to help achieve bet­ter suc­cess in their aca­d­e­mic ca­reers. Ac­cord­ing to Rachel Kennedy, di­rec­tor of CAS, the group helps to take away iso­la­tion­ism stu­dents may feel due to ADHD or ADHD be­hav­iors.  

This group is open to all stu­dents, and you can come and go with­out com­mit­ting to com­ing every week. If this group may be some­thing that you have in­ter­est in and would like more in­for­ma­tion, con­tact aca­d­e­mic­suc­cess@bethelu­ni­ver­sity.edu.
