Workshops and Trainings Designed for Students
Party Safe - For Party Throwers and Goers (1 hour)
Let's talk about ways to get the good without the bad. This interactive program is intended to improve party culture by discussing ways to have fun while minimizing problems related to alcohol. Hospital transports, injuries, and public nuisance incidents don't have to be part of the college experience.
Cannabis Today (1 hour)
A more traditional presentation format, this program is intended to educate students about cannabis culture, campus policies and state and federal laws, how to use cannabis safely, and some of the facts and myths about cannabis.
Come Up for Air: Self-Care Alternatives to Substance Use (1-hour OR 2-hour workshop)
Deep breaths. Stress and anxiety have become such a part of our daily lives that most of us don't even realize we're stressed until we feel overwhelmed and are turning to alcohol or other substances to help us relax. In this interactive workshop, participants will consider what self-care means and explore strategies, techniques, and activities that may alter how they think about and manage stress. The 2-hour workshop also involves coming up with a personal self-care maintenance and emergency plan.
Let's Talk About It - Motivational Interviewing (3.0 hours either as a single session or split into two)
This program prepares students to have sometimes difficult conversations with peers about behavior change. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a style of communication used in clinical and non-clinical settings. Through the use of MI students can help their peers work through ambivalence and find the internal motivation to change harmful behaviors. The first hour of the session educates participants about the fundamental skills of MI and the second hour is spent engaging in role-playing activities. The program can be done in a single 2-hour session or broken into two separate 1-hour sessions.
Alcohol, Me, and My Community (1 hour)
Alcohol, Me, & My Community offers a space to explore what you love most about your community, unpack the science of alcohol’s effects on the body, and discuss ways to both manage risk and keep yourself and your community healthy. Learn how to get the good without the bad.
Leave No Bearcat Behind: Recovery Ally Training (3-hour or 5-hour training)
The Recovery Ally Training program exists to increase the local community's substance use recovery capital.

Recovery ally training is delivered in an interactive format and is meant to provide a starting point for friends, family members, lay persons, employers, health care providers, etc. to support those in or seeking recovery from a substance use disorder.
Individual modules in the 3-hour program include: Basic Science; Social Justice, Stigma & Recovery; What Does an Ally Do; Stages of Change & Motivational Interviewing; and Pathways to Recovery. The 5-hour training provides more in-depth training on motivational interviewing techniques.
