FSU SAFE Office
The Office of Well-Being and Prevention (SAFE) provides programs and services to help students, staff, faculty and community members practice healthy choices!
Our Vision: Frostburg State University will be recognized for establishing a culture of well-being that actively supports, educates, and empowers students to make healthy choices by providing comprehensive campus activities, while reaching out to the university community with innovative, evidence informed, student-driven prevention programs.
Mission: The Office of Well-Being & Prevention Center (SAFE) engages students in developing leadership and critical thinking skills, which creates a campus environment supportive of academic success and wellness resulting in a reduction of student behavior risk factors and an increase in protective factors.
Strategies to increase student well-being
- Develop quality education to students, faculty, staff and community
- Provide research-based information about the nature, scope, and consequences of students’ use of alcohol, controlled substances, and the risk of other student behaviors
- Build a coalition of prevention partners both on and off campus
- Support social norming efforts to help challenge misperceptions of student alcohol and other drug use/abuse
- Support students in recovery and provide evidence based strategies to effectively provide treatment options to students who are at risk
- Utilize harm reduction approaches to empower students to make informed and healthy decisions
- Promote effective by-stander intervention via “Bthe1” initiatives
- Implement the use of science-based peer education as a vehicle to educate students about health, wellness and other related and relevant topics
Most FSU Students did not binge drink in the last month.
