Mines for Recovery and Awareness

Spring 2025!

Meetings of Mines for Recovery and Awareness this spring will take place on Mondays at 5pm in Hill Hall 253! 

If you haven’t connected with us before, it would also help us to receive information via this confidential form so that we understand what support you are looking for. You may also schedule a Peer Listening appointment with student lead Kate if you have questions or want to talk more about your sober/recovery journey.

We recognize the unique journeys individuals take in exploring their relationship with alcohol and drugs. Mines for Recovery and Awareness seeks to provide an open 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.
