Prescription Stimulants and College Students: A Conversation on Misuse and Recovery

We work in the generation x initiative. So I absolutely would love to talk about it, and anyone who's listening to the podcast, who's familiar with the generation rx materials, is going to feel like we're treading some old ground, and that's great, because we should build upon some excellent resources, and the generation rx materials are fantastic.
Prescription stimulant misuse is a growing concern on college campuses, and this episode brings together two experts to tackle the issue head-on. Dr. Kenneth Hale teams up with David Arnold from NASPA to discuss the impact of these medications on students and the efforts to curb their misuse. The conversation dives into the work of the CPAM coalition, a group of organizations dedicated to promoting prevention and recovery.
One standout initiative is Generation Rx, which provides campuses with resources to change attitudes and environments around prescription stimulants. The episode also highlights the crucial role of peer-to-peer programs and the influence of student affairs administrators in fostering long-term healthy behaviors. Whether you're a student, educator, or parent, this episode offers valuable insights into combating prescription stimulant misuse in academic settings.
