Parents
- While our culture can often dismiss alcohol and drug use among college students as "normal" or expected, many students begin to struggle with an unhealthy relationship to alcohol and/or drugs that can endure beyond or interrupt their college experience. If you have concerns about your student and want to know more about the resources available to them, reach out to an HPW staff professional for more information at
hpw@depaul.edu.
