National Prescription Drug Take Back Day @ Near You
Apr 24 all-day

Why should you dispose of you unused or unwanted prescription and over the counter drugs? Research shows medication residues leach into water systems, posing serious threats to wildlife. Out-of-date medications can also cause adverse effects due to deterioration or changes in the active ingredients and can lead to accidental poisoning.

Anteaters for Recovery (Support Group) @ Student Center, G319 Conference Room
Oct 2 @ 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm

Anteaters for Recovery is a new support group program at UCI intended for students who identify as being in recovery. Whether it’s recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, growing up in an alcoholic family, or any other life-altering situation, you’re not alone. Join us in this safe and confidential space where we share, listen, support, and uplift each other. Our meetings are led by a pro-staff member also in recovery.

Anteaters for Recovery is not therapy or group counseling, but rather a support system where you can heal, grow, and thrive with others.

Meetings will take place in the Conference Room of G319 Student Center, here at the Center for Student Wellness and Health Promotion.
