ADDvisor Support Groups
Would you like to join our new 3rd-level student support meeting to discuss the challenges and experiences of independent living, learning, college and all aspects of Uni life?
We will be talking about your difficulties, challenges and the successes you experienced at College and University. This is a space to ask questions and share ideas, resources and strategies to help and support you.
These peer-to-peer sessions are not information sessions, they’re aimed to offer support and guidance to each other.
These meetings are held over Zoom, please register to ensure you will receive the meeting link closer to the meeting date.
NOTE: Please do not register if you think you cannot participate in the session because places are limited and it may take up a space that someone else would like to use.

The support we offer is only support. We advise if you have any significant issues or are seeking medical advice, then please speak to your GP.
