ADHD Peer Group Postponed

Regrettably, the ADHD Peer Group has been postponed until further notice. However, please note that the Living Well Peer Group (for students diagnosed with mental illness) and the Tism Peer Group (for students who are autistic or on the spectrum) are fantastic alternatives for students interested in connecting with others who share similar experiences.
