How We Think About Substance Use Matters: Transformative Reflections for Student Support


As reflective practitioners, it’s critical to grapple with underlying frameworks that shape our understanding of student identities and experiences. One place where biases often go unchecked is in our approaches to student substance use, addiction, and recovery. This session will engage participants in a survey tool to guide a review of assumptions and beliefs that develop our professional and personal approaches to student drug use. Themes and takeaways will also be shared from implementing this tool with professionals around the country.
