Many university students experience difficulties with managing competing demands, maintaining motivation, staying organized, and coping with stress. These challenges are often connected to executive functioning skills, which support effective planning, self-regulation, and goal-directed behaviour.
This workshop will provide an accessible introduction to executive functioning in young adulthood. Drawing on psychological principles and practical strategies, participants will explore how executive functioning impacts academic performance, emotional wellbeing, and daily life. Students will leave with a better understanding of their own strengths and challenges, along with tools to support more effective and balanced functioning.
