Did you know that September is also National Recovery Month? It's a month designated to increase awareness and understanding of mental and substance use disorders and celebrate the people who recover. The University of Georgia featured the Know Your Limit booth at their first Fresh Check Day in August as they welcomed new students onto campus during their orientation week. We loved their creative activities including Do It Sober UGA 1st Year Bucket List, a list of substance free activities for students to do on and around campus. They also provided Bystander Intervention, where students are faced with scenarios related to substance use to promote intervention at early stages. Know Your Limit is a great opportunity to not only promote activities outside of drinking but also educate students so that if they do decide to drink they are doing so in a responsible way!

As always, if someone from your team has come up with a great booth activity please share it with us! We love getting new activities that we can add to the Booth Activity Bank to help boost other schools' Fresh Check Days!
