Our mission is to create healthier, happier and more successful students at Radford University. We do this by offering quality programs, knowledgeable staff, and student development and education that enhance physical and mental performance, provide education and development, and foster long-term healthy lifestyle choices. We also strive to create an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, responsive and inspiring for its participants.

 

 

HIGHLANDER HARM REDUCTION

The Highlander Harm Reduction program is an initiative dedicated to promoting safety, health, and well-being on campus through practical, judgment-free support.
This service makes it easier for Radford students to access sexual health supplies, StopTopps (drink spiking prevention lids), and fentanyl testing strips by removing cost and privacy barriers while also sharing information about services to support students’ physical health and well-being. 
All items are available through our anonymous delivery service, ensuring privacy and accessibility for every student.
Highlander Harm Reduction is here to help—discreetly and respectfully. Because taking care of yourself should never come with stigma.
