SJSU’s Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC)

Our Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) is a welcoming, peer-driven space for students exploring recovery. We support students who are in recovery, sober-curious, or seeking to reduce their risk around substance use in a respectful, judgment-free environment.
CRC supports the whole student through connection, encouragement, and wellness-based support. This includes using the SMART Recovery Toolbox, an evidence-informed approach to individual and group goal-setting, encouragement, and empowerment to define recovery on their own terms and thrive both on campus and beyond.
Fall 2026 Recovery Schedule
Recovery meetings are anonymous to promote trust and respect. No meetings or drop ins are open to attend for class credit.
Details for Fall 2026 coming soon!
