Start well. Stay well. Thrive with Support at UP.

As you settle into your first full week back on campus, take a moment to check in with yourself. New routines and expectations can feel exciting and overwhelming, and that’s completely normal.

Your well‑being matters, and support is always available. If you ever feel unsure or overwhelmed, you can talk to someone anytime at 0800 747 747. You don’t have to navigate the semester alone.

It’s a parent’s nightmare scenario: Your teenager is out and about and they’ve been secretly drugged. Now, your child is no longer in a condition to say “no.” The risk of drink spiking has been on the rise in recent years, and it is imperative that we talk to our teens about this danger.

Picture the party scene on campus, off campus, at a music concert, or a sporting event (including that ubiquitous red solo cup). Bear in mind that the danger of drink spiking presents itself at all social-economic levels—not just in sketchy nightclubs but also in dorms at prestigious universities. And remember, this threat exists even if your child’s drink is non-alcoholic.
