Student Wellness empowers students to make evidence informed, safer choices regarding potential substance use, focusing on non-judgmental, risk-reduction strategies. Through individualized support and campus-wide initiatives, we work to mitigate high-risk behaviors, reduce harms where possible, and foster an overall safer and healthier Carolina community.
