Our mission<\/h1>\n

Funded by Rhode Island’s Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities & Hospitals (BHDDH), we honor all pathways to recovery, offering peer support, wellness education, and sober spaces that empower students to thrive academically, socially, and personally. While the Collegiate Recovery Program is staffed by graduate and licensed professionals who offer support and guidance, the program does not provide formal treatment or therapy services and is not a substitute for clinical treatment of substance use or mental health conditions.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Programming<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We welcome all URI students who are in or seeking recovery and supporters of recovery to participate in our programming and events.
