Peer-to-peer support group for students AD(H)D

Are you a student struggling with AD(H)D and/or concentrating? Get in contact with other students and share experiences and coping strategies to learn from each other! In cooperation with student psychologist Margreet van Laarhoven and dean of students Daan Faasen, we are building a peer-to-peer support group.

This academic year (2023-2024), the meetings occur twice a week (on Tuesdays and Fridays). Students from every program and year are welcome. Join the group and check the Canvas page for the exact dates and locations for the scheduled meetings. 

What is a peer group, and what do I need? 

  • Do you need help studying due to a lack of focus or concentration? 
  • Do you feel overwhelmed and anxious that your work is not good enough? 
  • Do you feel your work always needs to be 100% perfect, or would you otherwise not do it? 
  • Do you have issues starting a task despite knowing its importance? 

 A peer group is a safe space and meeting point for people with similar issues. This group has no clear educational framework and is instead a space where you can be understood and learn from each other on how to cope with AD(H)D-related struggles. Everyone is welcome to share their experiences and personal strategies. 
Students from all programs, regardless of the year of study, are welcome. Please note that it is not necessary to be diagnosed with AD(H)D. Everyone should be able to find support if they struggle with similar problems.
