Focus & Flourish is our 5-week peer support group for adults with ADHD: practical tools you can use straight away, a shame-free space, and people who truly get it. We meet on Wednesday evenings at our office in Prague 1.
Focus & Flourish is a 5-week peer support group for adults with ADHD. Each 90-minute session combines a short, practical teaching segment with tools you can try straight away and time to share with others who understand. The space is predictable, welcoming and shame-free. Come as you are.
What you will take away: a clear, shame-free understanding of how the ADHD brain works, including medication, common co-occurring conditions and strengths; ways to spot and interrupt self-sabotage and impostor syndrome; a practical toolkit for time blindness and getting started on tasks; a regulation tool for rejection sensitivity and better tools for relationships; a clearer sense of the work and career fit that suits you; your own self-advocacy scripts; and a peer support and accountability network.
Each session starts with a check-in and reflection on the week, followed by a short learning segment led by the facilitator, then peer sharing and hands-on practice, and a gentle wrap-up with an optional focus for the week ahead.
The group is led by counsellor Kristýna Vávrová (MA in Psychology, working with CBT, DBT and schema therapy, with ADHD-focused research and diagnostic training at the National Institute of Mental Health), together with group support leader Roksan Mandel. In week 1, our clinical psychologist Magdalena Njegić joins as a guest to explain what a formal ADHD assessment involves and answer your questions.
Our group agreements: what is shared in the group stays in the group, and we use first names only. Everyone can speak without interruption, and you can always say “pass” and simply listen. Moving, fidgeting or stepping out for a moment is welcome. Every participant signs a confidentiality consent form before joining.
Amanda Mataija founded Prague Integration in 2020 to make mental health support accessible to expats and locals in Prague, in their own language. Our support groups grew from that same idea: that nobody should have to face anxiety, depression or ADHD alone, and that a safe, confidential group of people who understand can make a real difference.
