"In April 2017, Terps for Recovery students gathered to create art that reflects their feelings about recovery. Art provides a way to relax, connect, and enjoy life - especially helpful when facing the challenges of university life. Events incorporating art are some of TFR's favorites."

About Terps for Recovery

Terps for Recovery seeks to provide collegial, informal, peer-to-peer support for students in recovery. College campuses can be a difficult environment for students to maintain their sobriety. This is due to many factors, including living away from home, insufficient on-campus support services, and, most notably, the pervasive heavy drinking culture that often dictates the social environment. However, social support has been shown to be a significant protective factor against relapse. Therefore, providing opportunities for students in recovery or considering recovery to connect with others is therefore an important aspect of fostering an environment that promotes success among students in recovery."
