Harm Reduction
At FIU, we recognize that students make their own choices when it comes to alcohol and other drugs. Our goal is to provide non-judgmental, evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions, reduce risks, and stay safe.
Whether you choose to use substances or not, harm reduction means:
- Understanding the effects and risks of different substances
- Making safer choices to reduce potential harm
- Looking out for yourself and your friends
- Knowing where to seek help and support if needed
We are here to support your well-being by offering education, resources, and confidential services to help you stay informed and safe. If you or someone you know needs guidance or assistance, reach out to Rachel Carson, Health Educator III and AOD Coordinator, aod@fiu.edu, (305) 348-4020
Your safety matters. Your choices matter. We’re here to help!
