  • UCR On-Campus Court-Approved Recovery and Sobriety Meetings Offered by Underground Scholars  

    • Underground Scholars is now offering recovery meetings for all UCR students, staff and faculty. Recovery meetings are a safe space for anyone who is struggling with addiction or is impacted by it in their life. We recognize that substance use 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 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!

    • For questions about these meetings contact Underground Scholars Director Ismael Davila ismael.davila@ucr.edu
