Whatever you’re going through, we offer a safe place to build friendships and find support. Our new, permanent home is the CRP space on the first floor of the Student Health and Wellness building at 550 Brandon Ave. Stop in for coffee, get your PlayStation on, or just hang out between classes. Join us weekly for Hoos in Recovery (HIR) meetings — casual check-ins with recovery-related discussion. Come as you are: No RSVP needed.
