About the Collegiate Recovery Center
The UNM Collegiate Recovery Center (CRC) is a student-centered space that supports wellness, recovery, harm reduction, and belonging. Our goal is to help students thrive academically, personally, and socially while building meaningful community connections.
Who We Are
The CRC recognizes that recovery looks different for everyone. We support all pathways to healing and wellness through peer connection, education, advocacy, harm reduction, and community care.
We are committed to creating an inclusive and culturally responsive space where students feel seen, respected, and supported.
What Recovery Means Here
Recovery Is Not One-Size-Fits-All
At the CRC, recovery can mean many things:
- sobriety support
- harm reduction
- mental health support
- rebuilding connection
- finding community
You do not need to identify as being in recovery to access support or participate in CRC programming.
Our Mission
The CRC supports students by fostering connection, reducing stigma, promoting wellness, and increasing access to recovery and harm reduction resources through community-centered programming and education.
Meet the CRC Team
