Students who have a strong support base have a greater chance of achieving long-term recovery from substance use disorders. Recovery allies, family members, and loved ones play a critical role in supporting a student in recovery from addiction. Addiction is a brain disease that affects entire families and communities. Friends, family, staff, and faculty can make a difference and positively influence a student on the path to recovery. The Recovery Ally training program is a two-hour, highly interactive program, facilitated by people in recovery. You will learn the following: Understand the complex nature of addiction as a disease and that substance use disorders often cannot be resolved by the individual choosing to stop Confront the myths and stigma regarding addiction and recovery and how its negative impact deters individuals from seeking support Use empathetic language and effectively listen when a person chooses to honor you by disclosing that they are struggling with substance use Define and understand that recovery is a lifetime journey with multiple pathways to achieving wellness in recovery Know available recovery support resources that are on and off-campus and how to access them To register, go to https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/alcohol-substance-support/#collapsepanel-2004-2-0-72, then complete the registration form selecting the class that works best with your schedule.

Students who have a strong support base have a greater chance of achieving long-term recovery from substance use disorders. Recovery allies, family members, and loved ones play a critical role in supporting a student in recovery from addiction. Addiction is a brain disease that affects entire families and communities. Friends, family, staff, and faculty can make a difference and positively influence a student on the path to recovery. The Recovery Ally training program is a two-hour, highly interactive program, facilitated by people in recovery. You will learn the following: Understand the complex nature of addiction as a disease and that substance use disorders often cannot be resolved by the individual choosing to stop Confront the myths and stigma regarding addiction and recovery and how its negative impact deters individuals from seeking support Use empathetic language and effectively listen when a person chooses to honor you by disclosing that they are struggling with substance use Define and understand that recovery is a lifetime journey with multiple pathways to achieving wellness in recovery Know available recovery support resources that are on and off-campus and how to access them To register, go to https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/alcohol-substance-support/#collapsepanel-2004-2-0-72, then complete the registration form selecting the class that works best with your schedule.

Students who have a strong support base have a greater chance of achieving long-term recovery from substance use disorders. Recovery allies, family members, and loved ones play a critical role in supporting a student in recovery from addiction. Addiction is a brain disease that affects entire families and communities. Friends, family, staff, and faculty can make a difference and positively influence a student on the path to recovery. The Recovery Ally training program is a two-hour, highly interactive program, facilitated by people in recovery. You will learn the following: Understand the complex nature of addiction as a disease and that substance use disorders often cannot be resolved by the individual choosing to stop Confront the myths and stigma regarding addiction and recovery and how its negative impact deters individuals from seeking support Use empathetic language and effectively listen when a person chooses to honor you by disclosing that they are struggling with substance use Define and understand that recovery is a lifetime journey with multiple pathways to achieving wellness in recovery Know available recovery support resources that are on and off-campus and how to access them To register, go to https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/alcohol-substance-support/#collapsepanel-2004-2-0-72, then complete the registration form selecting the class that works best with your schedule.

Recovery Ally Training
Friday, October 8th, 2021
12:00 PM - 02:00 PM

Other
TBD

The Recovery Ally Training Program was launched campus-wide in January 2020. Students who have a strong support base have a greater chance of achieving long-term recovery from substance use disorders. Recovery allies, family members, and loved ones play a critical role in supporting a student in recovery from addiction. Addiction is a brain disease that affects entire families and communities. Friends, family, staff, and faculty can make a difference and positively influence a student on the path to recovery.

The Recovery Ally training program is a two-hour, highly interactive program, facilitated by people in recovery. You will learn the following:

Understand the complex nature of addiction as a disease and that substance use disorders often cannot be resolved by the individual choosing to stop Confront the myths and stigma regarding addiction and recovery and how its negative impact deters individuals from seeking support Use empathetic language and effectively listen when a person chooses to honor you by disclosing that they are struggling with substance use Define and understand that recovery is a lifetime journey with multiple pathways to achieving wellness in recovery Know available recovery support resources that are on and off-campus and how to access them

To register, go to https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/alcohol-substance-support/#collapsepanel-2004-2-0-72, then complete the registration form selecting the class that works best with your schedule.

The Rainbow Center is a UConn/Storrs campus spot to get a free and private Rapid HIV test and a HepC test which allows for results to be known within the half-hour, made possible with the generous support of the Risk Reduction Outreach program of Perception Programs, Inc., of Willimantic (http://www.perceptionprogram.org).

This test is free of charge and open to all, however there are approximately TEN spots available per day of testing! No appointments will be taken due to the need for privacy. Arrive early because testing is first come, first served. Numbers will be given out to individuals and people need to wait in the office. If a person leaves the office and their number is called, we can substitute another person at our discretion. If a person misses their opportunity to get tested because they need to leave, they can be tested on another day that we offer the testing.

The Rainbow Center is located in room 403 of the Student Union.

Test dates during the Fall 2021 semester are as follows:

Monday, September 27 @ 4:00pm – 7:00pm
Wednesday, October 6 @ 10:00am – 1:00pm
Monday, October 18 @ 4:00pm – 7:00pm

Monday, November 15 @ 4:00pm – 7:00pm
Wednesday, December 1 @ 10:00am – 1:00pm

One may always obtain free, rapid, and private HIV tests and Hepatitis C (HCV) tests through the Risk Reduction Outreach Program, a component of Perception Programs, Inc., which provides services to Windham and Tolland Counties. Its office is located at 90 South Park Street (use Young Street entrance) in Willimantic. The phone number is 860-450-7128.

Also, there is free HIV testing at your local Department of Health and other organizations. Consult http://www.hivtest.org for more test sites in your area.

Recovery Ally Training

Online

The Recovery Ally Training Program was launched campus-wide in January 2020. Students who have a strong support base have a greater chance of achieving long-term recovery from substance use disorders. Recovery allies, family members, and loved ones play a critical role in supporting a student in recovery from addiction. Addiction is a brain disease that affects entire families and communities. Friends, family, staff, and faculty can make a difference and positively influence a student on the path to recovery.

The Recovery Ally training program is a two-hour, highly interactive program, facilitated by people in recovery. You will learn the following:

Understand the complex nature of addiction as a disease and that substance use disorders often cannot be resolved by the individual choosing to stop Confront the myths and stigma regarding addiction and recovery and how its negative impact deters individuals from seeking support Use empathetic language and effectively listen when a person chooses to honor you by disclosing that they are struggling with substance use Define and understand that recovery is a lifetime journey with multiple pathways to achieving wellness in recovery Know available recovery support resources that are on and off-campus and how to access them

To register, go to https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/alcohol-substance-support/#collapsepanel-2004-2-0-72, then complete the registration form selecting the class that works best with your schedule.
