Academic Skills Workshops

  • Rewiring the Roadmap: Support for Executive Function Challenges

    • Session Overview: Ever feel like your brain’s internal GPS is constantly yelling ‘recalculating!’ even for the simplest tasks? For some, navigating the world of executive functions—things like focus, time management, and motivation—can often feel less like a smooth drive and more like a scavenger hunt where the clues keep disappearing. Come learn about executive functioning and the support available at VU.

*Surviving & Thriving with ADHD and other Executive Function Concerns

Representatives from the CSW and UCC will facilitate a weekly workshop for students to actively engage in skill-building to improve work completion, time management, and organization and practice cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness interventions. This workshop series will focus on strategies for improving work completion, time management, and organization, as well as touching on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness interventions. A verified diagnosis of ADHD is not required for this workshop; any interested student is welcome! No referral is necessary and attendance is not mandatory, although you will get the most benefit if you make a commitment to attend all sessions in the series.  If you have previously participated in Surviving and Thriving with ADHD, you are invited to attend again, as it can be beneficial to hear the information more than one time.

*Please reach out to Frances Niarhos (frances.niarhos@vanderbilt.edu) or Samantha York (samantha.york@vanderbilt.edu) for more information about this workshop.
