Recovery at the U acknowledges and empathizes with a students difficult challenges that involve academic, social, emotional and physical demands. Our hopes are not only to alleviate the stressors associated with those demands but to replace old coping mechanisms with healthy alternatives. We will be hosting a number of student centered activities. Activities that offer a variety of positive communal expansion to grow and surpass ones limitations. Experiencing substantial joy beyond the substance of psychoactive drugs.  

We believe in cultivating a healthy relationship with ourselves and our community. Often times the two are one in the same. By getting outside of ourselves we may objectively visualize a more altruistic world that correlates with our very own self-love, care and respect. We will provide opportunities to serve others in our community that may be experiencing conditional hardships that will be met with our unconditional acts of service.  

A collective group of students who have similar experiences of alcohol/drug abuse as well as dependencies that are relatable to one another. The group is student ran and staff facilitated. Offering a safe environment for conducting emotional and practical support for everyone attending the group while respecting the anonymity of everyone. Allowing staff and students to have the opportunity to share, listen and be heard. The group fosters a level of comfort that is often challenging to find in a stigmatized world. Here we offer the option to talk openly about the challenges of living through substance abuse/addiction. We exchange thoughts and ideas of encouragement towards one another in order to assist each other through individual as well as collective trials.
