Going Back to School in Recovery (Live stream)
Tuesday May 20, 2025 3:30pm - 4:30pm EDT
Academic Learning Commons - VCU - 1100
Open Zoom

This panel will explore the process of going to school (from GED to PhD!) as a person in recovery.  For many people in recovery, going to school is a daunting task and one filled with complex emotions.  Panelists will share about their own personal educational journeys in recovery as well as the ways they support students of all ages in the process and the tangible support that is available.  The panel will also explore key support that clinicians and family members can provide that can help individuals be successful in this journey.
