Severe substance abuse and addiction is a problem that mostly manifests itself between 18 and 24 years of age. Abuse and dependence rates among college students have been estimated to be as much as three times the average of the general population. While alcohol and other drug prevention programs on college campuses have grown significantly in the past decade, services to help identify and intervene with those students progressing toward dependence have seen a less robust increase.
This webinar presents two models for how university and college campuses can provide comprehensive approaches to working with students when their substance use progresses beyond college experimentation and into severe abuse and dependence.
Designing and implementing an integrated model can be a challenge for universities and colleges given the current economic restraints, lack of resources, territoriality, and divided campus models that handle prevention and intervention as discrete services. This webinar uses University of Connecticut’s AOD and Other Addictions Services Team and Central Connecticut State University’s Counseling and Wellness Center models.
WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THIS WEBINAR:
- Strategies and knowledge to design and implement an integrated model to respond to this population’s need involving multiple constituencies across campus: approaching AOD issues by broad campus coalition rather than any one single campus entity.
- The fundamentals of a campus intervention program, including knowledge of:
- Prevention and intervention strategies and techniques.
- Screenings and assessment methods and tools that can be utilized.
- Student’s attitudes, social norms, beliefs and recent substances use trends.
- Understanding the advantages, and related challenges, of consolidating prevention and intervention programs into a continuum of services model.
- he importance of a needs assessment and strategic plan that accommodates for university’s available resources, demographics, and location.
- staff who work in university counseling/advising roles
- student support services
