The Counseling Center will be providing information on substance use among college students on 04/20/2023 in the RUC Lobby from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m. in honor of National Cannabis Awareness Month and Alcohol Awareness Month.
That same day, we will have a documentary viewing of “The First Day” in Derryberry Auditorium at 6:00 p.m., a story about Chris Herren, a former professional basketball player, author and wellness advocate, who shares his story of recovery with over 1 million people nationwide. Through the power of storytelling, The First Day addresses issues that school systems, communities and people across the country are impacted by, directly or indirectly, each day including substance use, other harmful behaviors and mental wellness. Following the documentary, we will have an opportunity to discuss helpful coping strategies to prevent substance abuse. The first 50 students will receive a special gift bag.
