A National Problem
National statistics on college student alcohol abuse (ages 18-24):• 1,825 deaths• 690,000 assaults• 97,000 sexual assaults
Our Response
• Wellness Workshops– Educational programs geared toward developing
holistic wellness while emphasizing the role of substance abuse
• Recovery Community– Provides support for students in recovery for substance
dependency in what can be a high-risk environment – Encourages non-recovery peers to become allies
• Youth Outreach– Allows college students to serve as role models for
community youth through programs and events– Helps decrease the social expectation of high-risk
drinking and substance use while in college
