Our Work
Collaboration and connection to others in the field is important so that we can all share our experience, strengths and our encouragement. As a statewide organization, we can address together these ever concerning substance issues on the college campus.
Working in the field with limited resources including staff and funds can create a very lonely and isolating experience for individuals. This collaboration will provide an opportunity for you to expand your knowledge expertise and enrich your practice and tools.
