Upcoming Events
Anteaters for Recovery is a new program at UCI and is intended for students who identify themselves as being in recovery. This could be recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, growing up in an alcoholic family, or any other life altering situation that someone could be in recovery from. Join this safe and confidential space to share or listen and support. All meetings led by a pro staff member also in recovery. Anteaters for Recovery is a safe space for students to gather and support each other in their recovery journey, but is not intended for group counseling or therapy.
Join our Alcohol Awareness Class to help you better understand alcohol consumption and its place in your life as a college student. Learn to navigate campus drinking culture responsibly, understand BAC management, and identify lower-risk drinking practices. Gain vital skills in ensuring the safety of your peers, recognizing signs of alcohol poisoning, and responding to emergencies effectively. Our class, bound by the principle of confidentiality and communal learning, aims to not just inform but transform, making you a proactive part of a safer campus community.
