What does promoting wellness and substance use awareness mean to you?
Promoting wellness and substance use awareness involves creating a safe and supportive space where individuals feel seen, heard, and encouraged to make informed, healthy choices. To me, it’s about helping others understand their worth and reminding them they’re never alone in their struggles. It’s a chance to spread compassion and empower people to build healthier, more hopeful futures.

What does promoting wellness and substance use awareness mean to you?
Wellness is integral to living the best lives we possibly can. Promoting wellness means making sure people are okay and can enjoy their lives to the fullest. Coming to college has changed my perspective on substance use. I hope that by promoting awareness around substance use, I can help people continue to make themselves and their loved ones proud by living their best, healthiest life.
