Dear Parents,

FAU is committed to creating a safe and healthy learning environment for your son and daughter to obtain the very best college education. In that regard we have developed campus wide prevention programs to reduce substance abuse.
We offer students counseling services to help them address their substance abuse problems. Because of confidentiality we can only speak with parents when we have a signed release from students; however, we strive to be supportive and answer questions. We also work closely with parents and families when a referral to inpatient or structured outpatient services are needed.

Please call us anytime and we will be happy to help your son or daugher make the best out of their educational experience at FAU. If you are interested in learning more about substance abuse and dependence, take a look at some of the links below.
