BASICS and iCHAMP

Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) and Individualized College Health for Alcohol and Marijuana Project (iCHAMP) are designed to help you understand your alcohol or cannabis use and to reduce risky behaviors and harmful consequences. If you have been referred to this service due to a conduct violation or medical follow up, you will receive a referral within the MU Connect system.

Brief Substance Use Consultation

Explore your use habits and consider both benefits and challenges associated with use. If you decide you would like to make some changes, we can help you set realistic goals and work toward them. Schedule an appointment with a BASICS coordinator in MU Connect or call our office at 573-882-4634.

Behavioral health screening

The behavioral health screening offers symptom screening for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, substance use disorders and a general well-being screening. Information about resources is offered based on your responses.
