Serenity Place

Located at 628 Price Street, Serenity Place is the heart of West Virginia University's Collegiate Recovery Program. This is a safe space where students can relax, study, and hang out with others in any type of recovery.

During the academic year, we have weekly meditation, book study, arts and crafts hour, & special events like cooking classes, mindfulness workshops, sober jams, and more! 

Mountaineers for Recovery (M4R) is our student organization! It offers both peer support and the opportunity to connect with fellow students.
