Campus Culture: Shifting the Substance Misuse Stereotype |
|
At Rise Recovery, education is key to shifting the mindset of youth substance use as a rite of passage well before graduating from high school. Providing prevention services on campus to those already struggling with substance use issues is also imperative. We go to them. Currently, we provide our services to: Boerne ISD, Alamo Heights ISD, Excel Academy, South San ISD DAEP, South San Care Zone, Harlendale ISD, and Rise Recovery's Learning-in-Recovery pilot program in partnership with the Anne Frank Inspire Academy, with more to be added in the near future. We go to them, so that they know they are not alone and recovery is possible, even at school. We are currently visiting in person to five of the districts with social distance measures in place. Here is a recent article on shifting the mindset of substance use on college campuses, published by Julia Sufrin | Sep 28, 2020 | Blog, COVID-19, Hogg Blog, Podcast:

Providing our youth with mental wellness support in their environment, at school, can change one life, an entire family, and even our community. We are thankful for our partner agencies and this shared mission of the San Antonio Mobile Mental Wellness Collaborative, to remove mental health stigmas and provide a safe environment to receive mental health support. We are so thankful to Spurs Give and Bexar County for their very generous gift to expand this collaborative so that we can reach even more San Antonio school districts and transform lives!
