Presented for UAB Faculty by Kit Emslie. The question of how to support students struggling with substance use has long been a source of concern among higher education professionals. Peer socialization around substances, along with long-standing cultural messaging about the college experience, prevents students from recognizing or acknowledging potential substance use concerns. Social stigma around substance use disorder is also a barrier to students seeking support or improving their relationship to substances. This seminar focuses on the realities of substance use as a widespread community health concern, establishing open and honest dialogues with students about substances, and how to create recovery-ready communities that meet the unique needs of UAB students.
