We want to have support for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that, during the pandemic, substance use rates increased. We don\u2019t know if that\u2019s because of boredom or because people have more access to substances, but we do know there has been an increase, so we want to tackle the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rickard said funding for the Mocs Recovery Program comes from Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act dollars.<\/p>\n<p>He credited Chris Smith, director of the UTC School of Nursing and the University\u2019s chief health affairs officer, and Yancy Freeman, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student affairs, for their advocacy of the new program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to make things happen quickly because of the support from Dr. Smith and Dr. Freeman,\u201d Rickard said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40228\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\" data-attachment-id=\"40228\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/02\/new-mocs-recovery-program-launches-to-support-students\/riddle-cassandra-22\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"819,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1642500392&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;185&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Riddle-Cassandra-22\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-699x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-40228 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cassandra Riddle, collegiate recovery program coordinator\/substance misuse educator in the Center for Wellbeing\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-699x1024.jpg 699w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-768x1125.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-580x850.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-610x894.jpg 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-137x200.jpg 137w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22-273x400.jpg 273w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/02\/Riddle-Cassandra-22.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cassandra Riddle, collegiate recovery program coordinator\/substance misuse educator in the Center for Wellbeing<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe know from research at other universities that having a space for students to gather is crucial for these programs to really be impactful, and Dr. Smith and Dr. Freeman have been able to help us find space where Jami and Cassandra can be co-located in the University Center.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hargrove, who received a master\u2019s degree in social work from UT Knoxville in 2018, has spent the last four years working with older males in recovery. She said she was drawn to UTC to work with younger adults.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been really cool working with college students,\u201d Hargrove said. \u201cI\u2019ve been surprised at just how receptive they are, and how I feel they\u2019re in that stage of their life where the world hasn\u2019t gotten to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Based in the Counseling Center, Hargrove will work more clinically with students who are either actively struggling with substance use or looking for more therapeutic support around recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I\u2019m not in recovery and haven\u2019t had those particular struggles, part of what being a therapist is all about is being able to relate to people\u2019s struggles and being empathetic about their struggles, even if you haven\u2019t been there yourself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m providing just a little bit more intensive treatment piece, whereas Cassandra and the Center for Wellbeing are more of the education and community outreach piece. Together, I think we go hand-in-hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riddle brings a different perspective. She has been an international opera singer, a rock climber, a teacher and a gym owner. She is currently a UTC graduate student pursuing a master\u2019s degree in clinical mental health. She also knows about recovery firsthand from an alcohol misuse problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYears ago, I, too, went into recovery,&#8221; she said. \u201cThis has been a journey of my own pursuit to understand me, how I fit in the world, and now, how best to serve. That\u2019s where I\u2019m at right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI decided to go back to school and mental health counseling just because I\u2019ve had a thread of trying to understand humanity and how I work, the way I work, trying to understand it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Riddle said her journey of self-discovery led to the world of counseling, an essential component of her own wellness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of what I do is education, and I speak to groups about substance misuse and share my own story and facilitate a conversation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe eagerness to learn and develop and grow in the field of clinical mental health counseling is all related. I have a lot of experience from my own recovery, and that\u2019s pretty powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0 *\u00a0 *\u00a0 *\u00a0 *<\/p>\n<p><em>Students interested in connecting with a counselor around substance use and\/or recovery should call the Counseling Center at 423-425-4438.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For support resources, reach out to Cassandra Riddle at <a href=\"mailto:cassandra-riddle@utc.edu\">cassandra-riddle@utc.edu<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mocs Recovery Program is a supportive environment of like-minded individuals who wish to maintain a sense of wellbeing while at UTC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/02\/new-mocs-recovery-program-launches-to-support-students\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1493,"featured_media":40227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7712,83654,7290,661],"tags":[119193,119195,72882,119194,99291,119192,150],"class_list":{"0":"post-40225","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-faculty-and-staff","8":"category-health-and-wellness","9":"category-student-servicees","10":"category-students","11":"tag-cassandra-riddle","12":"tag-center-for-wellbeing","13":"tag-counseling-center","14":"tag-jami-hargrove","15":"tag-keilan-rickard","16":"tag-mocs-recovery-program","17":"tag-utc","18":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New Mocs Recovery Program launches to support students | UTC News Archive: Jul 2007 - Oct 2025<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Mocs Recovery Program is a supportive environment of like-minded individuals who wish to maintain a sense of wellbeing while at UTC.
