ADHD Community Groups

Back by popular demand! Our ADHD Community Group starts up again next week! We will have two sessions: graduate and undergraduate. Our groups are informal and led by peer facilitators. This is a place for you to connect with peers through shared experiences, conversation, and advice. All who identify with the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, and/or identify with the symptoms of ADD/ADHD are welcome to join. No medical documentation is required! Last semester, we covered topics like time management/organization, helpful tips, relationships, sleep, emotions, and more. The group will decide which topics to cover as the semester goes on!

Registration is limited. Please email Kelsey Foote (footeke1@msu.edu) and Jessica Lutz (lutzjes1@msu.edu) if you cannot register and would like to be placed on a waitlist. Here are the details:

Movement for All Abilities

EveryBODY benefits from subtle movement, breath, mindfulness, and sensory input to navigate stress and experience safety, self-compassion, confidence, and community. The simple truth is that it takes a unique set of tools to ensure that everyBODY has access to spaces that honors all aspects of body, mind & heart. Choose what class works best for you.

Navigating Stress in Structured Spaces - what you'll find:

• Sensory Aware Environment
• Trauma-Sensitive Approach
• Photos of people doing the movement
• Sequences of movements that are color coded (e.g. red cards are for standing, orange cards are for lunges)
• A “check list” so you know the order and completion of the practice
• Additional visual supports (optional) for motor planning
• Safe space for Neurodivergent Minds & Bodies
• Requirements: Water bottle & loose fitting clothing.

Navigating Stress in Adapted Spaces - what you'll find:

• A sensation-based class honoring subtle movements that are universal to all
• Trauma-Sensitive Approach
• This class does not judge breath or movement; instead asks you to stay curious and open-minded to NEW experiences
• Laughter, music, aromatherapy, stories, proprioception, and touch are incorporated to support sensations of ease, grounding, and balance
• Getting on a mat is available if you have your own assistance
• Safe space for bodies with disabilities
