Trinity College disAbility Service

If you experience procrastination, difficulty initiating a task or sustaining attention when engaging in study/assignments, this may be the group for you!!

A ‘body double’, is a term created by ADHD coach, Linda Anderson in 1996. It taps into the multiple scientific theories that describe why having someone working alongside you can lead to greater levels of productivity and focus in terms of task initiation and completion.

Body doubling is used informally where you may notice that you work better in a library or café. In more structured ways, many people use body doubling using platforms such as Flowstate, Caveday, Focusmate.

Sessions will run on Mondays from 10:00 to 12:00 and Fridays from 14:00 - 16:00 

All sessions will be in person and take place in the North Training Room in the basement of the Boland Library.

To register your interest, please fill out the sign up form in our bio & stories!

The Q***r Disabled Peer Support Group is open to any student who is identifies as both q***r and disabled and/or chronically ill.

You do not need to have a formal diagnosis or be registered with disability to attend, nor will you be asked to disclose your q***r or disabled identities if you do not wish to do so.

The aim of this group is to help support students with these intersectional identities that may have difficulty finding safe and welcoming spaces with those with similar experiences.

The group will be co-facilitated by a q***r disabled student and a disability staff member.

We would ask that anyone who wishes to attend any session over this semester express interest by filling out the form at the link in our bio and stories.

We will then keep the group closed during the remainder of the semester to ensure the safety and confidentiality of participants as we recognise not everyone wishes to be open about their identities and/or diagnoses within their wider college life.

The group will meet on alternating Thursdays during lunchtime.

We will reach out to those who have expressed interest with meeting details closer to the date of the first meeting in Semester 2.

After the break for Reading Week, peer groups will resume this week!
