Departmental Event: The New Beginnings of Dry January

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and well-being with our Dry January Support Group at Carolina. This four-week program is designed to support students who are ‘sober curious,’ those who want to take an intentional break from alcohol to reset priorities or improve their overall health.

Each week, we’ll delve into different themes and activities focused on personal growth, health, and mindfulness. Our sessions include:

Week 1: Setting Intentions – Begin with goal-setting workshops to create a solid foundation for the month.

Week 2: Mindfulness and Well-being – Participate in mindfulness exercises and discuss the benefits of abstaining from alcohol.

Week 3: Community and Connection – Engage in group activities to build connections and share experiences.

Week 4: Reflection and Beyond – Reflect on the journey, celebrate achievements, and discuss ongoing strategies for a balanced lifestyle.

We provide a safe and confidential space for sharing and learning from one another, as well as access to online resources, substance use practitioners, and personal counseling. Our meetings are staff-facilitated and offer space for exploring motives, sharing experiences, gaining insights, and practicing strategies for reducing alcohol use.
