Please consider giving back to the community by signing up to volunteer during one of our time slots. Every hour counts! We are so grateful for our volunteers and can’t wait to have you as part of this year’s conference.

ARHE has re-launched the Biennial Collegiate Recovery Program Survey for 2025, which allows us to gather vital data to advocate for increased support across institutions, states/provinces, and at the federal level.
You can access the survey at the following link: https://collegiaterecovery.org/arhe-collegiate-recovery-program-survey/
The data we collect informs:
- ARHE’s national advocacy efforts at the federal level, when advocating for state / provincial expansion, and even with individual institutions
- Resource development, toolkits, and supportive materials
- Strategic planning and organizational priorities
- Training and technical assistance (TTA) initiatives
- Gaps in research which can be prioritized to further advance our understanding
- Public understanding of who CRPs serve and how they make a difference
We will continue to collect data until September 2025, but encourage programs to fill it out as early as possible to add to the overall longitudinal data that informs what we do.
The Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) is conducting a workforce study among collegiate recovery professionals to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape in the profession. This study aims to gather detailed data on salaries, job titles, positions within universities, responsibilities, and the scope of roles. By analyzing this information, ARHE seeks to identify trends, establish potential salary benchmarks, and provide valuable insights that can help advocate for fair compensation, support professional development, and enhance the recognition and support of collegiate recovery programs across higher education institutions. While we hoped to have collected enough data to close the survey at the end of January, we have decided to leave it open and encourage more folks to fill it out. Please participate in the survey if you haven't already in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current workforce. Preliminary results will be presented at the annual conference!
The Center for Young Adult Addiction and Recovery (CYAAR) at Kennesaw State University, Georgia (USA) started the Collegiate Recovery Research Collaborative (CRRC) in 2017. The Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) is excited to now host the CRRC to allow researchers to connect, collaborate, and progress important research topics within the profession of collegiate recovery.
Currently, the CRRC meets once a month on the first Thursday of the month at 12pm ET / 11am CT / 10am MT / 9am PT. Project-specific meetings may take place outside of this time.

The new Resource Hub has launched with the ability to search, sort, filter, and find a wide array of resources on all kinds of topics! We have created a link for folks to use to upload any existing resources they have that they would like to share with the community. Resources will be screened and sorted into the new organizational system by ARHE resource hub committee members – if you’d like to join this project working group, please reach out to Mack!
Please upload any and all resources you think would be helpful for other programs to have. Ideas of resources to add are: policies and procedures/strategic plans, budgets, event or outreach guides, grant proposals, marketing brochures, etc.
All types of media/content are welcome, such as social media graphics, webinar recordings, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs/Word Docs, and more!
SRCRA is a process that will assist CRPs to define their current programs and outline plans for moving forward, acting as a tool to help navigate the often-challenging advocacy paths within institutions of higher education.
SRCRA is a voluntary, evaluative process that includes both an internal and external review to highlight program strengths and attributes, identify areas of growth and improvement, and serve as quality assurance in order to assist programs and stakeholders in identifying and advocating for areas of continued growth and development.
