Eagles for Recovery, Eastern Washington University’s collegiate recovery program, supports EWU students who are in recovery, considering recovery, or seeking to be recovery allies. Our program provides a supportive community to help students navigate their recovery journey while pursuing their education. We have a beautiful lounge space in Showalter 118. Please come visit us! We offer weekly All-Recovery support meetings throughout the school year, 1:1 recovery coaching, naloxone distribution, and sober events to foster connection and well-being.
Eagles for Recovery seeks to ensure students do not have to choose between their recovery and their education.
“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.” -Brene Brown
