CHOICES

What is CHOICES?

Brief Harm Reduction Alcohol Prevention Program

How it Works

CHOICES is offered in a classroom setting, usually with approximately 15-30 students. Most of the work is individual, but open discussions occur and feedback and input are welcome.

Students engage in a self-reflective process through completing questions in a journal about alcohol use, high risk behaviors and safe choices.

Information is provided about alcohol use, the risks associated with excessive drinking and alternative coping strategies including calculating your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC, how alcohol is processed through your body and the definition of a standard drink.

Binge drinking and current alcohol laws are also discussed.

When to Refer

Students can attend a CHOICES class as a part of a First Year Experience class, or any other class.
