Recovery Community

• How can I access these resources?
  • Students can sign up to be involved through a Qualtrics form. After you fill out the form, we will connect for an initial appointment to figure out what you are looking for and connect you with resources based on what is presently available in our community.

• Who can participate ? 
  • SAMHSA defines recovery as " a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential." 
  • These meetings are open to any student that is exploring healing based on a pattern of behavior or experience that caused them harm. This can include substance use, eating disorders, self-harm, mental illness, survivors of violence, and whatever brings you to want/need to explore recovery.
• What is offered?
  • Recovery mentorship:
    • This is a system where students can meet with a staff member regularly to have a recovery mentor/hype man. They will be able to schedule brief non-therapy meetings where they can talk through anything they need to process. This is aimed at providing students with frequent touchpoints with someone who can hold them accountable for their goals, and offer support for barriers as they navigate recovery/sobriety.
  •  Recovery group building:
    • Students can share their availability and I will work to build a recovery group based on student interest. In the meantime, we can work through strategies to find resources available in the community.
  •  Connections with sober friends:
    • If students are interested, I will work to connect with other students engaged in the recovery community to facilitate fun activities with other sober folks.

       

• Will I get in trouble for disclosing something during this meeting? 
  • You will not get in trouble for disclosing substance use, experiences interpersonal violence, eating disorders, mental health struggles during this meeting. Though, if you disclose certain things there may be consequences which are listed here:  
    • Disclosing an act of interpersonal violence that took place within the UP community: this will lead the facilitator to have to place a Title IX report, which will lead to you receiving an email from the Title IX coordinator to see if you would like to take action relating to the experience.  
    • Disclosing something that indicates you may be a danger to self or others: The facilitator will connect you with counseling services or Pilot's Helpline and may have to contact campus safety. 
    • If you share something that was disclosed by someone during a meeting outside of the meeting space, you will be asked not to participate temporarily or permanently based on the severity of the issue.
