CAPS clinicians facilitate a once weekly recovery and recovery ally meeting throughout the academic year. This group focuses on providing students a safe environment to have candid discussions and support one another in recovery from all addictive disorders. As a group, we hope to focus our energy in finding ways to connect and to advocate for de-stigmatization of addiction and recovery.
