The  Alcohol and Drug Education Program provides services for students who need help with compulsive and chronic use of alcohol and/or drugs. The staff strives to maintain anonymity for students who request counseling, assessment and referral services. A number of services are provided:

The Stay Safe and Graduate Program Alcohol Safety and Prevention Committee OPTIONS Alcohol/Drug Workshops for the Classroom

Hope for Kids Program Peer Educators/Peer Education Training Counseling Services Osprey Bar Alcohol 101 T.I.P.S.

 

The Stay Safe and Graduate Program
Funded by the New Jersey Department of Highway and Traffic Safety, this program encourages cooperative relations between local alcohol serving establishments and Stockton College to increase driver safety.

The Alcohol Safety and Prevention Committee
This committee structures on-going communications between staff from the offices of Dean of Students, Campus Police, Campus Hearing Board, Housing and Residential Life, Counseling Services and the Alcohol and Drug Education Program to review alcohol policy and education initiatives. Members of the Stockton Community, including faculty and student leaders, are regularly invited to committee meetings.

OPTIONS
The OPTIONS program consists of a four-credit elective course—Psychology of Well-Being—taught by Professor William Miley, a senior faculty of the psychology department. On a case-by-case basis, students who are found in violation of campus alcohol/drug policies are offered the “option” of enrolling in the wellness course toward receiving an adjustment in alcohol/drug policy sanctions. This course is also open to students who have personal substance abuse and alcohol issues.

Alcohol/Drug Workshops for the Academic Classroom
Interested faculty members can contact the office of the Alcohol and Drug Education Program to arrange an alcohol/drug workshop for academic classes. This workshop is often featured in freshman seminars. Call ext. 609-626-6855 for information.

Hope for Kids Program
As a public service to the local community, the Hope for Kids Program gives local school children training on peer pressure resistance skills to avoid alcohol/drug situations. The workshops are facilitated by the Stockton Alcohol/Drug Peer Educators. This program is offered to local elementary schools as well as high schools.

Peer Educators
Stockton College aspires to increase campus alcohol/drug awareness by utilizing trained Peer Educators in responsible positions through the office of Alcohol and Drug Education. Research demonstrates that a student-to-student approach is an effective campus strategy to combat student alcohol/drug abuse. Peer Education Training is available to students who desire to be a Peer Educator for the Alcohol/Drug Prevention Program. Completion of an academic course "Peer Educator Alcohol/Drug" (GEN-2715) is required.

Counseling Services
The Alcohol and Drug Education Program aspires to maintain anonymity for students who request counseling, assessment, and referral services. Students can also receive counseling if they have a relationship (family member or friend) with an alcoholic, addict, or problem drinker. Students will receive information on support systems available. Counseling services are provided by alcohol counselors. To make an appointment, call (609) 626-6855 or stop into the West Quad Building, Suite 110.

Osprey Bar
Osprey Bar offers alcohol/drug education, giving students the opportunity to receive ULTRA credit when they score 80 or more on the ULTRA Alcohol Quiz, Marijuana Quiz, Drug or Tobacco Quiz. Staffed by Peer Educators, Osprey Bar is periodically set up in the galleries and residential areas.

Alcohol 101
A highly interactive workshop, “Alcohol 101,” is available for ULTRA workshops and student training formats.

T.I.P.S.
 Students can receive training that leads to certification in the dynamic “Training for Intervention Procedures” program (T.I.P.S.). Students receive training on how to increase their communication and interpersonal skills toward influencing their peer’s drinking behavior in a non-threatening way. Students receive training on how to intervene with students who are consuming too much alcohol.  T.I.P.S. is utilized nationally in many universities. If you wish for your campus organization to become T.I.P.S. certified, please call 609-626-6855.
