In efforts to support students in keeping connected with the PMC, each other, and their studies, the PMC has created a series of support, social and study groups open to all PMC-registered students.
These groups range from an opportunity to interact with peers socially, to being a place of accountability for studying.
Be sure to review our meeting guidelines before attending the first session of any group.
ADHD Group
PMC’s ADHD Group is back for another academic year! Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to learn, connect, and thrive in a fun, supportive environment.
This term we’ll cover topics like ADHD and mental health, building habits, and goal-setting for ADHD! Join us and take advantage of this opportunity to gain insights into ADHD, discover neurodivergence-friendly techniques to work with your brain, instead of against it, engage in meaningful conversation, share relatable memes, and more.
Social Communication Group
Do you want to make new friends on campus? Not sure where to start? Join the Paul Menton Centre (PMC) and the Carleton Disability Awareness Centre (CDAC)’s Social Communication Group!
The Social Communication Group supports students with disabilities in nurturing social skills and making friends on campus. This group may be helpful to students with various disabilities, including autism spectrum, social anxiety, etc..
Chronic Medical Disability Support and Social Group
The Chronic Medical Disability Support and Social Group is a dedicated space for students to connect with their peers and PMC facilitators. The group will focus on sharing strategies, tips, and important information related to navigating the post-secondary student experience while living with a chronic medical disability.
Undergraduate Student Writing Group
**COMING SOON** Our new Undergraduate Student Writing Group is intended for undergraduate students enrolled in their Honours Thesis and/or capstone seminar program requirements. Undergraduate students working on term papers and independent research projects for their courses are also invited to attend.
By joining this group, students will have the opportunity to connect with their peers to foster a supportive work environment, increase productivity, reach their writing-related goals, and boost motivation. Led by PMC Coordinators and Learning Strategists who have experience with academic writing, participants will set individual goal(s) for themselves to achieve in a 1-2 hour work session. Facilitators will also be available for individualized support in breakout room(s) if needed.
Stay tuned for a finalized meeting schedule in the New Year. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Emily Kelly (emilyekelly@cunet.carleton.ca).
