The Peer Health Educators offer a variety of awareness programs for the University community.  These are interactive presentations that can be presented to resident halls, athletic teams, fraternities, sororities, clubs, or other organizations.

The programs (each approximately 1 hour in length) include:

• B.A.M. (Body and Mind: Mental Health Awareness): Encourages discussions about mental health to help students become more comfortable talking about the topic.  Information is provided to participants to increase knowledge on the challenges that face good mental health, to identify and address common mental health concerns, and to provide available mental health resources on and off campus.
• Nutrition-The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly:  Assists students in evaluating the concepts of nutrition and diet and the role they play in a healthy lifestyle through providing information on portion sizes, choosemyplate.gov, how to read a food label, and tips on eating healthy.
