Shauntelle Hammonds was a tireless advocate for culturally relevant and welcoming spaces for students of color and trans students in recovery. As the fall semester is upon us, please consider keeping her work and memory alive by supporting the Shauntelle Hammonds Memorial Scholarship fund. This fund provides scholarships for participants of the Soul Circle program which provides a space for BIPOC post-secondary students to build community, receive mentorship and access scholarship funds to support their education. 100% of the funds raised go directly to student scholarships. #BlackLivesMatter #TransLivesMatter #BIPOC #SoulCircle #StudentsRecover https://lnkd.in/dA2YWuyT

Students Recover is seeking a sponsor for graduation stoles for the 2024/2025 graduating classes. A graduation stole from StudentsRecover is a great way for a student to display their accomplishments, distinguish themselves among their peers, and engage others who are curious about recovery. Any student who is involved with StudentsRecover is invited to receive a graduation stole as a way to commemorate their experience in our recovery community. Interested in sponsoring graduation stoles? Please contact Kristine De Jesus at kdejesus@studentsrecover.org #Recovery #Graduation #HigherEd #RecoveryIsPossible #StudentsRecover

Thanks to all the #PrincetonUniversity alumni who stopped by Murray Dodge Hall for the inaugural Orange and Black Oasis event. This alcohol free event featured zero-proof cocktails served by SansBar, delectable cookies baked fresh by the staff at the cafe and incredible jazz music by Private Label Trio. Thanks to our co-sponsors (Princeton Office of Religious Life, Princeton School of Public and International Affairs as well as the Alumni Association)for helping bring this event to life. The event was an incredible success and we look forward to hosting it again. #SansBar #Fun #Recovery #PrincetonReunions #StudentsRecover

In a study published recently in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, authors found that deaths of despair rates for middle-age Black and Native Americans have surged past those of white Americans as the overdose crisis moves from being driven by prescription opioids to illegal drugs such as fentanyl and heroin. While the opioid crisis did raise drug overdose deaths among white Americans for a time, it was an anomaly, said Joseph Friedman, a social medicine expert at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine who was the lead author of the journal analysis. In fact, by 2022 the rate for white Americans had started to dip. Another recent worrying sign, Friedman says: Deaths of despair among Latinos are starting to catch up to those among Black and Native Americans. Deaths of despair have been a reality for Indigenous communities since conquest and dispossession. Racism must be considered when trying to make sense of the crisis in premature deaths, says Dr. Helena Hansen, head of UCLA’s Department of Psychiatry and a senior author on Friedman’s analysis. Hansen, who is Black and specializes in addiction psychiatry, also co-authored the book “Whiteout: How Racial Capitalism Changed the Color of Opioids in America.” ❤️

We are so excited to be hosting the inagaugural the Orange and Black Oasis (an alcohol-free experience of jazz, mocktails and delicious desserts) at #PrincetonUniversity Reunions. https://lnkd.in/ehx7EHfC
