Peer Health Education

About Peer Health Education
CHEW's nationally certified Peer Health Educators (PHE) produce campus health projects and lead active and informative sessions on alcohol and other drugs, sexual health, sexual assault and other vital health topics. Classroom, outdoor events, organization meetings and trainings are frequent stops for PHE teams. Our peer health educators are responsible for University of Scranton events including: Royal Taps, The Fitness Challenge, Mental Health Awareness Week, Healthier U Day, Mindful Eating Week Alcohol Awareness Week, and many more!

Here's what current PHEs have to say:
"I love being a PHE leader because I have really bonded with my fellow team members and created fun campus-wide health events. PHE has helped me develop my leadership skills and showed me how important it is to ask for help, and be productive when demands are high." - Mariah '17

"I like being a PHE because I enjoy interacting with students and teaching them about health and wellness. I also love feeling like Oprah when I pass out free items during wellness wagons. Internally I'm like, "you get a stress ball, and you get a stress ball. You all get stress balls!" - Leandra '18
