Collegiate Recovery Week

April 15th – 19th, 2024

Celebrating 14 Years of ARHE

Threads of Transformation: Celebrating Individual Journeys, Weaving a Collective Movement

Embark on an inspiring journey through the theme of “Threads of Transformation” during Collegiate Recovery Week as the Association of Recovery in Higher Education poignantly celebrates the joys of student-focused recovery. This unique week is dedicated to honoring the remarkable resilience, personal growth, and collective strength found within collegiate recovery programs.

What is Collegiate Recovery Week?

The Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) was founded on April 15, 2010 and has since recognized April 15th as Collegiate Recovery Day. As the number of programs have grown, so have the celebrations and so now, we celebrate Collegiate Recovery Week – creating a full week of programming, social media campaigns, and opportunities to build connection! 

Collegiate Recovery Week is an opportunity to host events on campus, celebrate the joys of recovery, share stories, and uplift one another through community! 

What is your CRP, business or organization planning this year to celebrate collegiate recovery week?

ARHE would like to celebrate Collegiate Recovery Week with everyone and highlight the exciting initiatives that you are doing on your campuses or in your communities! If you would like to share an event with us to promote on our social media accounts leading up to CRW 2024, please fill out this 5-6 minutes form to provide us with all of the details we need to highlight your event! Please complete the form by March 29, 2024 to ensure that your event can be posted on our website, newsletter, and social accounts. 

***Collegiate Recovery Week 2024 is April 15-19, but events outside of this time frame that are open for others to register and join to celebrate collegiate recovery can also be submitted, provided they are submitted before the deadline.

Collegiate Recovery Week Merchandise

Collegiate Recovery Quilt

We’re thrilled to introduce an inspiring project aimed at celebrating the unity and diversity within our collegiate recovery communities. We’re inviting each collegiate recovery program to contribute a 14″ by 14″ square to be incorporated into a large quilt. This quilt will serve as a visual representation of our profession, showcasing the strength, resilience, and creativity of our members. In line with this year’s Collegiate Recovery Week theme (“Threads of Transformation”), the combination of squares will create a powerful symbol of solidarity and support. Your unique contributions will not only add to the beauty of the quilt but also highlight the collective impact of our efforts in fostering recovery and wellness on college campuses. Let’s come together and weave our stories into this extraordinary tapestry of hope and healing!

The Collegiate Recovery Quilt will be displayed at the Annual Conference, and can form an ongoing legacy of programs contributing to its pattern over time.

Depending on your preferences, there are multiple ways to participate:

  • Send us a CRP-branded t-shirt and we will cut it to size
  • Send us a custom 14”x14”  fabric square with your own custom design!

To submit a square, please mail it to: P.O. Box 1541, Kennesaw, GA 30156 and email aalakhdar@uhs.uga.edu so that we know we can expect a square from you.

Please mail your squares by May 15, 2024 to have them included in the quilt displayed at this year’s conference! Squares mailed after this date will be added to the quilt after the conference. A webpage will be developed to track the progress of the Quilt after the annual conference this year (2024)!

**Join Ayesha on Tuesday April 16 to learn more about making quilting squares and work on a quilt square together!

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.

The ARHE Website is currently undergoing updates. While we anticipate minimal disruption, please email mack@collegiaterecovery.org if you experience any issues with the website and we apologize for any inconvenience.
