So much of the goings-on on campus still surrounds that, whether it's club parties or work.
Ever felt like campus life revolves around parties and Greek life? This episode of 'Reimagining Addiction' with Anna Simile dives into how these cultural elements shape substance use and addiction. The hosts break down the topic into bite-sized, 15-minute segments, making it perfect for a quick listen between classes or on your commute. They discuss the need to rethink how we talk about addiction in a university setting, where social pressures and party culture can often mask deeper issues.
You'll learn about the warning signs of addiction, such as getting suspended for alcohol or drug-related incidents, lying about substance use, and losing interest in activities that once mattered. But it's not all doom and gloom; the episode also highlights the importance of providing support and creating alternative activities that don't center around partying.
Whether you're a student, educator, or just curious about the impact of campus culture on addiction, this episode offers a compassionate and practical look at a pressing issue. Tune in to gain a fresh perspective on how to support those struggling with addiction in a university environment.
