HECAOD X900 - More Than Sobriety: Building Collegiate Recovery Support for the Whole Student
Students with substance use disorders often face additional behavioral health challenges, including disordered eating, gambling, screentime, and compulsive sexual behaviors. This workshop will explore how these concerns impact college students, intersect with alcohol and other drug use, and how collegiate recovery programs can holistically support students navigating these co-occurring concerns. Participants will engage in sessions around inclusive programming, cross-campus collaboration, and evidence-informed approaches that center student wellbeing beyond abstinence alone.
