Raider Restart

Raider Restart provides personalized individual and group sessions with a trained facilitator to discuss and reflect on alcohol and cannabis use. Sessions are designed to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where students can learn more about substance use and make informed decisions.

The program focuses on how substance use can affect health, well-being and academic success while helping students identify strategies for reducing potential negative consequences.

If you were referred to Raider Restart by the Office of Student Conduct, review your Student Conduct letter before scheduling to make sure you select the correct session.
