BASICS can help you think about any changes you might like to make to your alcohol and/or drug use.

In these challenging and uncertain times, we want to make you aware that WFU BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students) is available BOTH online and in-person to all WFU students (undergrad, grad, law, etc.).

BASICS is a free and private evidence-based and supportive meeting to help people think about changes that they might want to make to their drug and/or alcohol use.

In BASICS meetings, students meet 1:1 with a trained professional and receive personalized feedback on their drinking and/or drug use.  BASICS staff help students to think about their relationship to drugs and/or alcohol and set goals for ways in which they might like to change those behaviors. This approach is based on the evidence-based style of communication called Motivational Interviewing and which is rooted in person-centered principles of compassion, acceptance, partnership, and evocation. The effectiveness of this approach is that it engages and empowers students.
