do so in a very limited way. Sometimes, students can have concerns and problems with alcohol.
Dallas College supports students as they navigate these choices through various education, counseling and
prevention programs.

In-Person Alcohol and Other Drug Programs
Helping students make healthy choices.
Counseling
Dallas College offers in-person consultation for alcohol and other drug concerns through the Counseling and Psychological Services Department. Students can meet with any counselor
for questions or concerns about substances, and if there are additional questions, students can meet with the
licensed chemical dependency counselor, Dr. Kimberley Toynes in-person or virtually. Dr. Toynes can meet to discuss
more in-depth concerns associated with individual use, family issues or recovery/relapse prevention. Please contact Dr. Toynes at kltoynes@DallasCollege.edu.
Students do not need to have a substance abuse issue to meet with a counselor and talk about concerns.
BASICS
If students would like to explore alcohol or other drug concerns, a counselor may recommend participation in BASICS. BASICS means Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) and is a two-session assessment created for college students. Developed at the University of Washington, BASICS reduces negative consequences of drinking, as well as alcohol consumption rates.
Some students may be assigned BASICS as part of a conduct sanction or you can opt in if you have concerns about your own alcohol use. There is no cost to participate. To find out more contact Dr. Kimberley Toynes at kltoynes@DallasCollege.edu.
