September is National Recovery Month and this year’s theme is to “Join the Voices for Recovery: Our Families, Our Stories, Our Recovery”.  There are campus wide events planned to celebrate the stories and voices of those in substance use recovery.

• The Georgia Tech Collegiate Recovery Program will be hosting an Open House on September 26, 2016 in the Student Center room 332 from 5:00-6:30. There will be food, raffle prizes and games as well as opportunities for Georgia Tech students in recovery, as well as any students, faculty and staff who wish to show support for those in recovery, to connect.
• On September 29th there will be a tabling event in Tech Walkway in which students, faculty and staff are invited to create and share social media and visual messages to show their support of those in recovery. There will be pizza and other giveaways for all that participate.

The Collegiate Recovery Program is offered through the Georgia Tech Counseling Center to provide a safe and welcoming community for students in recovery from substance use disorders. The program is designed to promote healthy lifestyles, positive relationships, and academic excellence while helping recovering students prevent relapse into alcohol or drug abuse. The Collegiate Recovery Program offers social and emotional support, an on campus AA meeting, recovery focused educational seminars and connections with other campus resources.
