Substance Misuse Awareness Week

- Campus Wide
General Event

As part of National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, the JED committee, Seaway Valley Prevention Council, the Barista and other groups on campus will be hosting a variety of events to bring awareness about substance misuse and its role in people's lives.

During this week, we will share campus and community resources, alcohol screenings, harm reduction awareness around substance misuse, information on safe prescription medication disposal, NARCAN training, games, and giveaways! While most are student events, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend Lunch and Learns and community resource tabling events.
