Importance of Queen's for Recovery
-
Over the past decade, college campuses have witnessed a substantial increase in the national use of cannabis, stimulant, and illicit drugs among students.
-
Opioid-related deaths in youths aged 15-24, has risen 369.2% from 2013-2021.
-
There are increased barriers to younger populations accessing Opioid Agonist Treatment (OAT), with a lack of availability in providing treatment and prescriptions to young adults.
-
Individuals with substance use disorder report feeling an increased stigma surrounding their substance use, leading to a resistance in being noticed and accessing support.

We are dedicated to supporting young individuals facing challenges related to substance use, stigma, and lack of student support. Our mission is to provide a safe space for them to seek help, guidance, and resources. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to empower youth to overcome obstacles and thrive in their communities.
