Underground Scholars is now offering recovery meetings for all UCR students, staff, and faculty. Recovery meetings are safe space for any one who is struggling with addiction or is impacted by it in their life. We recognize that substance abuse disproportionally affects those apart of marginalized communities- such as student parents, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those who were formerly incarcerated. We want to offer a space that is welcoming for people of across all identities to start taking steps toward a solution. The meeting structure borrows from AA, NA, and CMA literature, and all meetings are court approved. Allies welcome!
