Collegiate recovery programs provide the resources and, most importantly, the peer support that folks in recovery need in order to be successful, to be a successful student. This is just vital and also, I think most importantly, offers a space of identification.
What happens when students battling addiction get the support they need to succeed in higher education? In this episode of 'Trapped: Understanding Addiction', Ahana Wokhlu chats with Kristina Canfield, the Executive Director of the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE). Kristina shares her passion and expertise on collegiate recovery programs, shedding light on their vital role in helping students navigate the challenges of addiction while pursuing their academic goals.
Kristina explains how these programs came into existence and the immense benefits they offer. From peer support networks to recovery-focused activities and resources, these programs create a nurturing environment where students can thrive. By fostering a sense of community and understanding, collegiate recovery programs help students stay on track academically and emotionally. Throughout the conversation, Kristina highlights the success stories and positive outcomes associated with these initiatives.
Students involved in collegiate recovery programs often experience higher retention rates and are more likely to complete their degrees. With ARHE's guidance, schools across the country can establish these programs, providing a lifeline for students who need it most. Kristina's journey is equally inspiring. From her days at Ohio University, where she helped establish a recovery community, to her roles in various treatment facilities and universities, her dedication to supporting students in recovery shines through.
Her insights offer a comprehensive look at how collegiate recovery programs can make a difference. Whether you're a student, educator, or someone interested in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable information and hope. Tune in to learn how these programs are changing lives and how ARHE is paving the way for more schools to adopt them.
