A.S.A.P. Resources for Recovery

Mines for Recovery and Awareness

Spring semester meetings take place every Thursday from 4-5pm in the Wellness Center 2nd Floor Conference Room. (Straight across from the stairs/elevator on the 2nd floor.) Can’t make a meeting? Schedule a Peer Listening session with MFRA Group Lead, Amanda Camarata, on the Peer Listening webpage.

We recognize the unique journeys individuals take in exploring their relationship with alcohol and drugs. Mines for Recovery and Awareness seeks to provide an inclusive and compassionate space for all students, whether you’re sober-curious, sober by choice, in recovery, or simply seeking to better understand and support those around you.
