ALCOHOL, CANNABIS AND OTHER DRUGS

Alcohol and Other Drugs

This program focuses on helping students identify negative and harmful consequences of high-risk alcohol use.

It acknowledges that abstinence from alcohol is the safest option but not always the most acceptable choice for students. Thus, the program focuses on harm reduction as opposed to a "just say no" approach. The presenters approach this topic in a fun, interactive, positive, and intellectually stimulating manner.

Alcohol, Cannabis and Other Drugs workshops can be requested during the times below:

RECOVERY

Recovery: Addressing Stigma and Making OSU a Recovery Supportive Home

This workshop will use clips from the documentary "The Anonymous People" to prompt a discussion about what it is like for someone who is in recovery from addiction to be a student on a university campus.

Students will be encouraged to think about the stigma that is placed on those who face addiction or who are in recovery.

Students will discuss the ways a typical campus can be a hostile environment to those facing addiction or who are in recovery, as well as explore the resources for addiction and recovery support on OSU’s campus and will be empowered to be an advocate for increasing this support.

SEXUAL HEALTH

The Birds and the Beavs Workshop

This interactive workshop brings everyone up to speed on consent and safer sex. Through inclusive activities and discussion, participants will explore what safer sex is and what it means for them, and explore the types of barriers and contraception available to them. Participants will learn to dispel common myths about sex and sexuality and feel more prepared to protect themselves and their partners. STI testing and other campus resources will be shared.

This customizable workshop can be delivered in either 60 or 80 minutes, depending on the needs of the organization.
