Peer Health Educators

 

Welcome to the peer education program at EWU! Our Peer Health Educator (PHE) Leads are students who use their time, ideas and energy to educate students about tobacco use, high-risk alcohol and drug abuse, sexual assault prevention, bystander intervention, sexual health and healthy lifestyle choices. These student-led and student-derived peer programs offer unlimited learning and professional experience opportunities. Sometimes they are just a lot of fun!

What is Peer Health Education?

  • Educating fellow students on important issues such as sexual assault prevention, alcohol use and abuse, sexual and reproductive health, tobacco prevention and much more.
  • Staffing the health hut, information tables, giving presentations, creating web pages, making brochures, organizing conferences, attending workshops and developing new programs.
  • Learning about social and health issues, basic office management, teamwork skills, public speaking and group dynamics.
  • Becoming familiar with all aspects of health and education.
  • Having the unique opportunity to develop or create a personalized approach to leadership and wellness at EWU.
  • Gaining valuable skills that will last a life-time!
