Hi Facebook Friends! The UTEP Collegiate Recovery Program, which runs the BASICS program is losing its funding this year, and we have launched this fundraiser to help us keep it going! $10,000 is enough to keep us programming for the whole year, and so far that has included not just recovery support, but awareness and prevention efforts, like BASICS and so much more. So excited for us to be back on campus this year!

Help The University of Texas at El Paso raise $10,000 for the project: UTEP Collegiate Recovery Program. Your gift will make a difference!

Questioning behavior, thoughts, and emotions related to your drinking... BASICS is here for those of you who are experiencing such questions.

It's more than a hangover when you feel crappy the next day after drinking too much. Alcohol messes with your brain, your sleep, and your emotions.
