Second Chances: How Collegiate Recovery Programs Support Students
“If we can turn education into an asset for recovery instead of liability, we're like one step closer to beating this thing”
College life can be a rollercoaster for anyone, but for students in recovery, it’s a whole different ride. This episode of the Dawn Farm Addiction and Recovery Education Series dives into the unique challenges faced by these students and the incredible support systems that collegiate recovery programs offer.
Mary Jo Desprez, Director of Wolverine Wellness, and Matthew Statman, Manager of the University of Michigan's Collegiate Recovery Program, lead the discussion, bringing in a panel of students who share their personal experiences. They talk about the pressures of campus life, from parties to peer pressure, and how these programs provide a lifeline with peer support, structure, and a sense of community. If you or someone you know is navigating college life while maintaining sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s not just about surviving college; it’s about thriving and achieving academic success without compromising recovery.
