About the Student Recovery Community
The UBC Student Recovery Community (SRC) is a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for students who are in recovery or curious to explore their relationship with alcohol, drugs, and/or addictive behaviours, including disordered eating, gaming, gambling, pornography, and more.
The SRC’s peer support, evidence-based model is designed to empower students with lived experience to support one another on their chosen recovery pathway. The community supports all pathways of recovery—from harm reduction to abstinence, and everything in between.

This peer-based group welcomes all students who identify within the Queer umbrella and have lived experience of recovery, or are curious to explore their relationship substances and/or addictive behaviours. - The Cannabis Meeting
