In the Center for Student Wellness we believe in a non-judgemental, holistic, harm reduction approach to substance use. We help students to reflect on their choices and how their use or non-use affects all areas of individual and community wellbeing.

Addiction is a disease. We should treat it like one

Only one in nine people in the United States gets the care and treatment they need for addiction and substance abuse. A former Director of National Drug Control Policy, Michael Botticelli is working to end this epidemic and treat people with addictions with kindness, compassion and fairness. In a personal, thoughtful talk, he encourages the millions of Americans in recovery today to make their voices heard and confront the stigma associated with substance use disorders.
