Join our Student Recovery Community
Students Recover recognizes that higher education is often stressful and is a hostile place for those in or seeking recovery from substance use or other mental health issues. Our online community was developed to provide a community of care that supports you through your education. Whether you are in community college, trade school, university or graduate school, our community is for you! We provide support groups, opportunities to socialize, build relationships and cultivate the support network necessary to see you through graduation.
Our services are free to students. The only requirements to join are that you are over 18 and are a matriculated student.
