CAPS PSA

Above you will see a link to the following PSA, which is encouraging Rutgers students to contact CAPS for any of their mental health needs. Though CAPS offers numerous services for students, I decided I will be creating a podcast which will delve into the Alcohol and other Drug Assistance program.

     I felt compelled to choose this facet of the CAPS program because it aligns with the culture and issue of under-age drinking, and binge-drinking that may often be promoted by Greek-life or the panhellenic community here at Rutgers. My website, RUGreek, aims to educate students and their families about the benefits and positive effects of joining one of the Panhellenic organizations at Rutgers, and though I have never personally felt peer-pressured or coerced into participating in something I did not feel comfortable with, hazing and the culture of binge-drinking is an issue that many Greek-life and sorority members deal with across the country.  My aim is that my future podcast will be able to educate students to recognize the signs if their peers may be struggling with drugs or alcohol, and how they would be able to find help.
