Alcohol & Drug Education

Sign up for alcohol education class

The sessions are intended to provide students with information regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs and the impact on their lives. The focus of the programs is risk reduction. Two different types of programs are offered. The Alternatives Education program is a two-hour risk reduction program. Goals of the class are to have participants identify individual level of risk; provide information about alcohol and its use; and determine what is low risk for each individual.

Topics included in the curriculum are a self-assessment; phases of alcohol and drug use; issues of illegal drug use; impairment issues; and risk reduction. Both are based on current research. More information on evidenced-based prevention programs can be found at http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/.
