Alcohol and Other Drugs Awareness Month

Alcohol Awareness Month was established in 1987 by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. The objective both then and now remains consistent: to normalize help-seeking behaviors and combat the stigma associated with alcohol misuse.

We expanded our programs to include alcohol and other drugs (AOD) and raise awareness about other substances that may commonly be used by college students and break the stigma associated with seeking support.
