The ADHD group is open to any student at Oxford Brookes University who identifies with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - whether you have a diagnosis or are working through your experiences independently. The group meets weekly on a Monday lunchtime on the Headington Campus.
It's a relaxed, supportive and informal group where you can be open about the your experiences of the challenges and strengths that come from having ADHD. We encourage you to share resources and strategies for surviving and thriving. The group is facilitated by two members of Inclusive Support Service staff, and we regularly invite other University staff who live with ADHD to join us.
If you're interested in coming along to the group, or have any questions, please get in touch: inclusivesupport@
The ASC group is open to any student at Oxford Brookes who identifies as being on the autistic spectrum. The group runs in-person every Wednesday lunchtime during semester time in Headington, facilitated by Inclusive Support Service staff.
The group is relaxed, open, supportive and informal, and open to any student at any point in their course. The idea of the group is to provide time and space away from some of the pressures of university life, and to be with others who might share similar experiences.
