Basics Alcohol Intervention Program
Basics stands for Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students. Basics is a non-judgmental program that evaluates students' personal alcohol and drug use. The program increases student motivation to be safe and reduce harm with alcohol use.
Information shared by a student in Basics is confidential. If you are referred by another office, you maybe asked to give written permission for Wellness, Health and Counseling staff to inform the referrer of your attendance. If you are curious about your drinking habits, call and make an appointment today.
Nicotine cessation
Nicotine cessation is a series of non-judgmental consultations that help students gain personal motivation to cease nicotine use. For students who want to decrease or quit their nicotine use, they may meet with a professional to obtain resources, learn techniques for coping with cravings, make a plan for quitting, learn strategies for staying nicotine free and cope with relapse. Call to schedule a consultation.
Wellness Weeks / Months
Wellness weeks provide time to engage students with fun activities, meet our staff, gain knowledge and learn about resources. They vary from year to year depending on student needs.
