Who are these programs for?
Any UT Austin student who is thinking about how alcohol or cannabis, or both, is affecting their personal wellbeing or academics can enroll in these programs. This might include, wanting to learn more about how to stay safer if you choose to use, reflecting on a past experience involving substances, or thinking about changing your use.
What to expect
BASICS and CASICS are services provided by The Longhorn Wellness Center and are non-judgmental, non-labeling, and not abstinence based.
Both BASICS and CASICS involve two, 50-minute virtual meetings and you will receive a personalized report and certificate of completion at the end. The meetings are private.

During meeting 1, you and a small group of peers will meet with a facilitator and set expectations, get an overview of the BASICS or CASICS programs and engage in two interactive group activities.

During meeting 2, you meet one on one with your facilitator to review your personalized report which really focuses on your experience with alcohol or cannabis. Resources are provided for continued support. |
