Welcome

Nationally, the use of drugs and alcohol by college students is an important issue. The negative consequences associated with alcohol and/or drug use are affecting some of our Penn State Altoona students. The Health and Wellness Center maintains a strong commitment to preventing such alcohol and/or drug-related harm.

The Health and Wellness Center provides education and counseling services and programs regarding drugs and alcohol:

The AWARE program is a psycho-educational intervention program for students identified with a drug and/or alcohol violation or concern.
Confidential individual counseling is available for students who have questions or concerns about their own or someone else's use.
The Alcohol Harm Prevention Program, available to instructors, is a two session research-based program that can be included as part of the course curriculum.
ADAPT (Alcohol/Drug Abuse Prevention Team) is dedicated to preventing drug and alcohol abuse among our students. The team is composed of faculty, staff, students and members of the community divided into three subcommittees. New members are always welcome.
