My first in-person campus event since March 2020 --- and I couldn't think of an occasion that would bring more joy.

Let's celebrate @LionUpRecovery! πŸ’šπŸ’›

#CollegiateRecovery πŸ’œ

Cc: @oursoutheastern @ulsystem @LA_Regents
Always an absolute pleasure to see @LionUpRecovery Assistant Director @Annette14708792!
Me, currently at the @LionUpRecovery Gratitude Breakfast...

Hear me: #CollegiateRecovery works. πŸ’œ
It's important that people know that recovery is possible. - Grace, a non-traditional aged @oursoutheastern grad, who will be working with homeless & addicted individuals in Baton Rouge.

*This*​ is how we develop talent so that #LaProspers.

@LionUpRecovery #CollegiateRecovery
When I was 23 days sober, I met @madsallen -- through a project in one of my social work classes.

Today's the first day that it (graduation) feels real. - Sarah, who will be graduating next week + will be pursue her MSW.

#CurriculumInfusion @LionUpRecovery #CollegiateRecovery
Some people ask the question "Why #CollegiateRecovery?"

I think soon-to-be @LionUpRecovery + @oursoutheastern grad Grace reminds us of how life-changing this kind of programming can be.

I absolutely have to recognize the outstanding work of @oursoutheastern to ensure that their commitment to Excellence and Caring also includes an intentional focus for students in recovery.

I'm certain the watery eyes + tangible passion in the room was a result of those actions.
Students & Grads of @LionUpRecovery:

Thank YOU – for trusting @oursoutheastern, the @ulsystem, @LA_Regents, the @LADeptHealth & countless other community resources to get this RIGHT for you -- to provide the necessary access, support, and care on your higher education journey.
Congratulations to the Fall 2021 @LionUpRecovery graduates of @oursoutheastern! πŸ‘πŸΎπŸŽ“πŸ’šπŸ’›πŸ‘πŸΎ

#CollegiateRecovery
Did I mention that I was able to check out the new @LionUpRecovery space IN the Student Union?!

My #highered people understand just how prime THAT real estate is! πŸ˜‚

#CollegiateRecovery
We also had the opportunity to discuss the future of #CollegiateRecovery in Louisiana--- in both helping to assist existing programs *AND* to expand programming to NEW campuses.

We CAN do this Louisiana! πŸ’ͺ🏾

Excellent @chronicle webinar "The Mental-Health Crisis on Campus" with Dr. Gary Glass, Ryan Houston-Dial, @DoreenSMarshall, Dr. Michael G. Mason & Dr. Kimberly Quinn - moderated by @AlexanderKafka.

I've *NEVER* seen this amount of questions consistently roll in during a webinar. Image
This (mental health crisis) has been going on for 10+ years.

We (staff) don’t care any less – and because of that, the burden *feels* even heavier when the narrative is that we can’t handle the demand. - Dr. Gary Glass
We’ve doubled, almost tripled, our staff since I got here – we are still understaffed. - Dr. Michael G. Mason

Doubling & tripling the *amount* of counselors is NOT the β€œgolden” solution. - Dr. Gary D. Glass

...in the words of Dr. Rackley (s/o to SUBR): hint, hint, clue, clue!

We deserve equal rights to recovery. - Shauntelle, a Black trans woman in recovery on the opening panel for #ARHE2020.

This panel on experiences in recovery is COMPLETELY comprised of people of color.

This is a FIRST for @CollegeRecovery. πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ Image
It's challenging to heal in a space where all of my identities are not recognized or valued. - Izzy #ARHE2020
Treatment isn't accessible for all. We're not present in recovery spaces but are over represented in the criminal justice system for drugs. - Maysa #ARHE2020
