Fairfield University offers a variety of resources to address substance misuse issues. Orientation for first-year students includes presentations about substance misuse, healthy choices, and campus resources.

Throughout the year, additional psychoeducation programs are offered to establish healthy habits and reduce substance use.

Fairfield University offers a variety of resources to promote mental health awareness. Programming, training, and psychosocial activities are offered throughout the year to help students identify signs of distress, increase protective factors and build resiliency skills. We strive to create an environment free of stigma that supports student mental health and improves student health and well-being.

Fairfield University collaborates with campus partners and with local community agencies to promote a healthy and safe campus culture for all.
