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.

The Mapping the DNA of Integrated College Health Services Webinar Series will be a series of continuing education opportunities for ACHA members addressing the organization and delivery of integrated services (health, counseling, health promotion) on college and university campuses. Each webinar will focus on a key topic of integration such as integrated program models, culture building across professional disciplines, space design and layout, shared policies and practices, shared electronic records, and integration with campus partners. The webinar series is being sponsored by the newly formed ACHA Integrated College Health Coalition and will also include the development of a repository of evidence-informed models of integration, published articles, implementation guides, policies and practices for integrated systems, and other useful integrated college health resources.

The need for information about how institutions address students' mental health is high. To this end, the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and the Student Well-being Institutional Support Survey (SWISS) partnered to create a Topical Module on student mental health and well-being for 2023. This session will describe what we learned from the survey and the implications for institutional practice. Special focus will be on first-generation students, whose unique challenges in navigating collegiate experiences can impact their well-being.
