安排一个UChoose演示 对于你的班级!

Presentations on issues that intersect with alcohol and other drugs can be adjusted to fit your syllabus.

UChoose is an evidence-based campus prevention effort that focuses on the reduction of high-risk alcohol use. We offer a 45-minute interactive presentation that uses empirically based theories and approaches for college students.

Students learn about why people choose to drink, 标准饮料尺寸, 身体对酒精有什么反应, campus policies and city ordinances around alcohol use, and tips to help them make informed choices if they choose to consume alcohol. 

When alcohol or drug-related events occur in the media or when partying comes up in a pre-class discussion, use that time to promote healthy and responsible choices. 

Use your influence as an authority to share statistics or challenge the misperceptions of alcohol’s role in campus life.

The 复苏 Ally program trains faculty and staff to be supportive of students in recovery from drugs and alcohol. Trainings are offered multiple times each semester and can be requested for your department or staff by contacting recovery@doorbaby.com.

Inclusive language is a great way to show support. Language is powerful, especially when talking about addictions. Stigmatizing language perpetuates negative perceptions. They can discourage, shame, isolate and embarrass. Focus on using “person first” language as it focuses on the person, not the disorder.
