Wellness through Time Management: Creating Space for You
In collaboration with CUNY SPH Counseling and Wellness Services and in recognition of CUNY Disability Awareness Month, the workshop Wellness Through Time Management: Creating Space for You aimed to provide students with practical tools to prioritize tasks, overcome procrastination, and create sustainable routines for productivity and balance. Through an interactive and engaging approach, the workshop aimed to provide students with the skills needed to take control of their time and make space for their well-being.
CUNY SPH Disability Awareness Month 2024
In April of 2024, the CUNY SPH Office of Accessibility Services celebrated our fourth annual CUNY Disability Awareness Month at SPH. We hosted three events, two on the topic of adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a student only town hall.
Workshop – Time and Task Management for Graduate Students with ADHD
Ellie Grossman, PhD candidate in Developmental Psychology at The CUNY Graduate Center, presents a workshop on time and task skills for graduate students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Ellie uses her lived experience with ADHD to identify some of the unique experiences that graduate students with ADHD face, and ways that time management and other strategies can help us not only achieve school-based success, but success in well-being and work-life balance.
Panel – Unlocking Potential & Breaking Barriers: CUNY Perspectives on ADHD
Hear from CUNY students living with adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and CUNY clinical trainers in the field. Panelists include Ivonne Quiroz and Jennifer Majer, CUNY SPH PhD students; Brie Scolaro, social worker and PhD student at the CUNY Graduate Center; and clinical trainer at Queens College, Sally Izquierdo.
Town hall – Student only town hall on disability (intentionally not recorded)
Disabled people are the largest marginalized and underrepresented community. The student only session served as a place to talk about grievances and past experiences and a way to create a braver space to talk about disability (including invisible disabilities), inclusion, and furthered the conversation through next steps.
