Alcohol and Other Drug Educational Resources

Resources and Education

College students today are experiencing record rates of stress, depression, and anxiety, and are at greater risk of developing substance use disorder. Recovery-informed AOD education is the best way to create cultural changes on a college campus that improve the wellness of students. Through peer-to-peer educational models, CARPE empowers students to challenge their own perceptions of substance use and equips them with the knowledge and resilience they need to make informed decisions and build positive coping strategies.
