About
Neurodiversity Essentials: Time Management Skills
In this workshop, students will explore the fundamentals of time management through a neurodiversity‑affirming lens. We'll begin by understanding how executive functioning differences—common in neurodivergent individuals—shape time management challenges. Then, we’ll introduce practical, flexible tools such as visual schedules, task breakdowns, and prioritization frameworks that respect diverse thinking styles. Each attendee will have personalized methods and downloadable worksheets to support ongoing structure, focus, and self‑compassion.
Storytelling for Self-Care Pt 2
This workshop focuses on having fun in a safe environment while learning techniques to reduce anxiety. The art of storytelling can be creatively harnessed to enhance mental health and wellness. Please bring pens and paper.
Open Discussion
Journaling Prompts for Self-Care: Embracing Singleness
This workshop invites participants to explore the joys and strengths of singleness through the practice of intentional journaling. Instead of framing singleness as a void to be filled, we’ll reframe it as a season rich with growth, autonomy, and self-discovery. Participants will be guided through thoughtful prompts that foster self-appreciation, challenge cultural narratives around relationships, and celebrate the unique freedom of living for oneself. Whether single by choice, circumstance, or transition, attendees will walk away with fresh perspective, deeper self-compassion, and journaling practices that affirm their wholeness as individuals.
Please bring your journals.
