How long is Carpe Diem?
Carpe Diem 

Carpe Diem is a 15-hour program specifically designed for college students who are participating in OC-PAD or have been charged by law enforcement with an alcohol or drug violation and offered a first offender's deferred prosecution by the District Attorney's Office. 

We use a non-judgmental approach to offer educational groups that focus on risk reduction, alcohol and drug education, replacement behaviors, stress management and self-awareness. We are a non-profit and we partnered with The University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill, to develop an evidence-based curriculum and used student feedback to create a unique program specifically tailored for college students.
