Alcohol and Drug Risk Reduction Team

 

Lifestyle Advisors take a unique, non-judgmental approach in teaching skills to reduce risks and avoid unwanted consequences related to drinking. The Lifestyle Advisors separate the myths from the facts about drugs and alcohol and the consequences of using and they also support students who have made the choice not to use.

 

Main messages:

  • You can learn to avoid unwanted, unintended consequences while having a good time.

  • The more we use alcohol and other drugs, the more we increase our risk for unwanted and unintended consequences. Increase the quantity; increase the risk.

  • In general, students who drink heavily have the lowest GPA’s at Western.

  • Students can have a complete and enjoyable college experience without drinking or using drugs.

  • Substance free housing is a choice for Western students.

  • Most Western students support Western’s alcohol and drug policies.

  • Most Western students drink responsibly but they believe their peers do not.

  • Alcohol and drug problems do not start or stop at the borders of Western.

  • Alcohol and drugs are cultural issues. Alcohol and drugs are global issues, not just a Western concern.
