Substance-Related Resources and Support

We share reliable information about the risks of substance use so that students can make safer, more informed choices around substances. For example, students can take anonymous self-assessments to gauge their risk of experiencing substance-related difficulties.

We connect students with the resources they need to practice safer substance use. This includes physical resources such as drug testing kits and community resources on- and off-campus.

For more, visit our resources page.

We are here for any student who feels they would benefit from a supportive, non-judgmental conversation about substances. We call our approach to these conversations R.I.S.E., which stands for Reflect, Inform, Support, Empower.

R.I.S.E. conversations can look a lot of different ways, but our focus is always on finding what you feel would be most helpful. Examples include:

• Working toward any substance-related goal you might have, such as cutting back, quitting, or using a substance in a safer way.
• Processing difficult or challenging substance-related experiences.
• Supporting your choice to abstain from one or more substances, either temporarily or indefinitely.
• Finding and connecting with resources either at L&C or in the wider community.
