Being a healthy and academically successful college student means having the physical, mental, and social well-being to live each day to its fullest. Health is achievable through self care, through making informed health decisions and the practice of positive health skills, and through respect and care of those around us.

Good health is neither achieved nor compromised in isolation. In part, good health is up to each individual and is influenced by our daily personal choices. However, health and the reduction of harm or risk are also affected by the communities in which we live. Our health and our personal choices regarding substance use are influenced by physical, psychological, social, and economic environments as well as our interconnection to each other.

At ADCAPS, we support personal efforts to maintain health and the reduction of health risks so students can achieve academic, career, and personal success. As well, we support and challenge all members of the WSU community to positively contribute to overall campus health and the reduction of health risk.
