Student Community in Recovery
Recovery involves a journey of transformation where individuals enhance their well-being, live independently, and strive to fulfill their potential. Fundamental to this process is the belief in hope, the idea that challenges and conditions can be overcome.

External Mental Health Resources
Recovery is Personal and ContinousRecovery is a personal journey of growth and transformation, where individuals work towards improving their well-being, gaining independence, and reaching their full potential. Each person’s recovery is rooted in their unique strengths, abilities, and values, supported by their community, including peers, friends, and family. It is extensive, addressing the person as a whole and their community, and is supported by peers, friends, and family. Whether through clinical treatment, medication, faith, self-care, or the support of loved ones, recovery looks different for everyone and can be achieved through many different paths. The Pathways to Recovery Program is not only for students in recovery but also for those who support individuals in recovery. Our program is geared towards students who have had family members, friends, or even have current roommates who have faced challenges or need a safe space to continue their recovery journey. |

Testimonials“CRP came on time for me, I haven’t lived on a college campus since I was sexually assaulted, and the groups do help my past anxiety not creep up” -Undergraduate Student “Collegiate Recovery Program on our campus is comforting, my roommate struggles with a past addiction, and I can help support him “ -2L SU Law Student
“My parents are addicts and being out of state dealing with the stress of that while here can be triggering to be around others who aren’t sober. It helps to know there is a program to support.”
“Been sober for 2 years, I would like to help support other students who are trying to get on the sober team and stay on it any way I can help support, I never had support, so I know it’s not easy”
