Recovery is Spoken Here: Recovery Ally Training provides essential information for faculty and staff at Illinois State.
Why? College students are in the highest risk category of any age group for developing a substance use disorder, yet college campuses are well known to be “recovery-hostile environments.”
By engaging in recovery ally training, faculty and staff will learn about:
- Sober Redbirds, Illinois State University’s collegiate recovery community
- Symptoms that indicate a substance use disorder or the need for recovery
- Providing support for students who need help, as well as those who are already in recovery, including how to make a successful referral
- Nurturing a recovery-friendly campus by understanding how language and policies perpetuate stigma, which blocks recovery, and recognizing how faculty and staff can challenge the party culture
