Actively educating, empowering and engaging students in making informed decisions regarding the use of alcohol and other substances is a passion for the Barnes Center at The Arch health and wellness team. In commitment to making a campuswide difference through nonjudgmental dialogue, the team actively works to enhance the student experience through a variety of services and programs.

Supporting the campus community and advocating for many of these initiatives is Emily Graham ’22, Barnes Center at The Arch health promotion intern. “For students not sure where to start, the Barnes Center at The Arch Be Wise peer educators are a great place. Peer educators are integrated all over campus, welcoming and a nonjudgmental resource for students who are looking to explore resources unique to their goals.”

Resources, services and consultation opportunities are available to those who are seeking to be recovery allies, are sober curious, living a sober lifestyle, seeking education and support, in recovery and more. All members of the campus community are invited to share the resources on the Substance Use webpage and learn more about them below.

Recovery Ally Training

Celebrated annually on April 15, National Collegiate Recovery Day honors those in recovery and highlights community support, resources and services available throughout the year. In addition to the resources below, campus community members are invited to attend the Recovery Ally Training on Friday, April 15.

21st Birthday Project

Whether the celebration will include alcohol or not, this peer-led program helps students approaching their 21st birthday plan for a happy and safe time.
