About the Program

Pratt Institute’s College Recovery Community (CRC), aptly named Clean Cats by its members, is affiliated with the Counseling Center. The Clean Cats have a dedicated space in a room on campus, in which they have 24/7 access. This space offers a safe environment for the members to hang out, study, support one another, make their art, and relax. They have access to books about recovery to read, adult coloring books, play-doh, puzzles, and some members have brought knitting supplies (all for relaxation). It is also where they have their All Recovery Meetings, celebrate sober/recovery anniversaries, meet for Recovery Review Check-ins, and other recovery-oriented activities. We have 3 AA meetings on campus, 1 ACA meeting, 1 SMART Recovery meeting and 1 Recovery Dharma meeting. The members can connect to mental health services and academic assistance via the advisor of the CRC. The members participate in at least 1 sober social event a month, and do service. Accountability and peer support are strongly encouraged. Our membership is small – about 5 members. Students are in recovery or pursuing recovery from alcohol, drugs, and/or other addictive behaviors (including eating disorders). Students not in recovery from drugs and alcohol are asked to abstain from all mood altering substances.

A Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) is a college or university-provided program that includes a supportive environment within the campus culture. CRPs reinforce the decision to engage in a lifestyle of recovery from addiction/substance use disorder. It is designed to provide an educational opportunity alongside recovery supports to ensure that students do not have to sacrifice one for the other.
