An Advocate for Hope

Building
Community Momentum

Dr. Holleran Steiker has been a founder and co-founder for various programs focused on bringing together UT students, clinicians, addiction research experts, community overdose prevention organizations, those affected by substance use and many more.

University High School was founded in 2014 by Dr. Lori Holleran Steiker to help students affected by substance use disorder have a safe place to continue their studies in a supportive recovery environment. In partnership with Austin Recovery and the UT Center for Students in Recovery, the UHS allows students a ‘wraparound’ environment to excel in school but also meet the needs of the child at their pace and evalaute their needs throughout the day.

Lori was interviewed on The Social Work Podcast in 2016, talking about her efforts in the creation of Austin’s first recovery high school.

The Youth Substance Misuse and Addiction Pop-Up Institute was founded in 2017 by Dr. Lori Holleran Steiker to bring together students, staff and local agencies and organzization who focus on youth substance misuse, research, intervention and recovery initiatives. In total, the ‘Pop-Up Institute’ accomplished 6 key goals including Operation Naxolone, resources and services for those attending UT and in the community as well as talks and events hosted by various researchers, addiction experts and professionals.

The UTORC brings together experts in opioid-related research, education and clinical practice across The University of Texas at Austin’s campus. Founded by Dr. Lori Holleran Steiker, UTORC seeks to develop and disseminate impactful community-focused solutions to enhance prevention, treatment and harm reduction efforts in Texas.

Operation Naloxone was started by Dr. Lori Holleran Steiker with Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Lucas Hill in 2017. Funded by a grant program from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Operation Naloxone is aimed at addressing the opioid crisis by increasing access to treatment, reducing unmet treatment needs, and reducing opioid (heroin and nonmedical pain relievers) overdose-related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment, and recovery activities for opioid use disorder, which includes both prescription opioids as well as illicit drugs.

SHIFTing the Campus Culture
around Substance Use

UT SHIFT was founded by Dr. Lori Holleran Steiker in 2018 to help change student campus culture at The University of Texas at Austin from a culture of substance use to that of wellness.
