Students in recovery end up graduating more quickly, they have a higher retention rate, they tend to be student leaders, but the stigma that's associated with collegiate recovery really stops these conversations from happening and looking at the assets that students in recovery or students seeking recovery bring to the institution.
Ever thought about how tough it can be for students to stay sober while navigating the pressures of college life? In this episode of 'Soberful', hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers chat with Dr. Kristine De Jesus, an expert in cross-cultural psychology, about the urgent need for collegiate recovery programs. Dr. De Jesus sheds light on why these resources are crucial for students, especially those from marginalized communities who often face additional hurdles.
She highlights the stigma that surrounds recovery on campuses and how it prevents many from seeking the help they need. The discussion also touches on process addictions, the intense pressure students face, and the importance of holistic healing. Dr. De Jesus and the hosts emphasize the need for inclusive and accessible support systems that can help students thrive both academically and personally.
Whether you're a student, a parent, or someone interested in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights into creating a supportive environment for young people in recovery.
