UQ's Neurodivergent Hub hosts a full program of exciting and free workshops throughout the semester to help students get the most out of their studies.
We know that success at university isn't just about grades, it's also about making connections and learning more about uni life and yourself.
Join neurodivergent peers in student-led workshops made to discuss topics important to you.
Discuss what works (and doesn't work) from other students and find new strategies to help you make the most of your time at University.
You don't need a formal diagnosis to attend and there’s no pressure to attend every week.
Neurodivergent Check-in
Run in collaboration with the Disability Collective, come and meet other neurodivergent students, learn how to identify challenges earlier in the semester and develop strategies to progress through the semester.
This one hour session runs towards the end of week 2 of the semester. It provides an opportunity for neurodivergent students to connect and share their experiences.
Neurodivergent Mentoring
Have the opportunity for more tailored support and explore strategies through one-on-one support for the first 6 weeks of the semester.
This program provides undergraduate neurodivergent students to be connected with a mentor, who will provide support to develop confidence starting the semester. Students will meet with the mentor once a week for one hour to work on their goal/s.
ADHD group coaching
Students will receive group coaching to develop connections and learn study strategies.
This program will run for the whole semester and is facilitated by staff from Student Support and Wellbeing Services. Students will work in groups to share strategies that have previously worked, and set goals based on their study needs. You may attend as many sessions as you wish.
Meet ups
Learn new skills and meet other neurodivergent students to share your experiences. These social sessions are run over the first 6 weeks of the semester. Exchange knowledge on navigating university and life in a safe space while doing crafts, using fidget toys, and more.
