Jessica Blasi is the Alcohol and Other Drug Education Director at Kansas State University and mental health therapist at Counseling Services. She provides one-on-one classes to the students surrounding drugs and alcohol through Zoom. The classes include nonjudgmental listening and screening of alcohol and other drug use, discussions of alcohol and other drug risks related to health and wellness, blood alcohol content and how it can impact driving, resources for alcohol and drug free activities in the Manhattan community and stress management tips. She uses a reduction of use approach to allow for the students to reflect on current use and how reducing use can impact their life. If the student is requesting other services or would like help in navigating community or campus resources she helps to find referrals which can further assist students in treatment such as individual therapy, inpatient therapy, detox services or community groups that support sobriety and change. If you have any further questions or would like to provide information to the community, her contact information is:
