Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Prevention

Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Prevention Programing

Trinidad State strives to deliver programming to students that will provide them with safe alternatives to alcohol and drugs, such as peer socializing and campus engagement 事件. Examples of programming designed to increase alcohol and drug awareness include Safe Spring Break, Stress Free Days (before final exams), Distracted Driving, and Healthy Alternative Programing Events.

The Safe Spring Break is designed to promote healthy choices as students prepare to leave campus for 春假. Trinidad State provides students with an opportunity to receive education on the dangers of alcohol, drugs, and binge drinking prior to 春假. A tool used during the event is the Safe Spring Break Pledge. 目的 of the pledge is to remind students of the risks associated with alcohol use and to provide tips for maintaining sobriety. Safe Spring Break also has entertainment, food, and door prizes to encourage students to attend. 

Stress Free Days are held before final exams each semester. Students can participate in aromatherapy, puppy play and receive chair massages while enjoying their favorite 茶. 目的 is to provide alternative means of releasing stress rather than drinking 或药物. \

Distracted Driving is a program that is intended to educate students on the risks associated with texting, phone use, drinking and driving, and other situations that may cause a driver to lose focus.

Healthy Alternatives Programing is intended to promote healthy alternatives to popular celebratory days. This year we provided a healthy fun environment for students to participate in during the Super Bowl and Cinco de Mayo.

Bystander 干预 Training is part of New Student Orientation and offered to all students as a tool that can assist them in creating a healthy campus environment. It 茶ches students the importance of self-awareness and how they each possess personal responsibilities that contribute to the overall functionality and safety of the campus 社区.
