Outreach and Education from the Center for Health and Counseling Services

Thank you for your interest in partnering with the Center for Health and Counseling Services for an outreach event or co-sponsorship.

• Outreach events are when a representative from Counseling Services, Health Services, or Wellness Is Now comes to your class, club, or organization for an engaging and educational event.
• Co-sponsorship requests refer to when a department, club, or organization is seeking support for a campus event they are conducting (planning, promotion, attendance, etc.). For example, Health Services could co-sponsor a Blood Drive on campus.

Wellness Is Now Peer Educators

The Wellness Is Now Peer Educators are available for interactive, peer to peer events surrounding wellness topics for student clubs and organizations. They collaborate with the Office of Violence Prevention’s Violence Intervention Peers to bring the Healthy Love Party to your residence hall, club, or organization! You can learn more about how to become a Wellness Is Now peer educator here.

The current programs available to be requested by WIN Peer Educators include:

• Love Your Selfie — In this self-esteem and self-love oriented outreach events, participants will explore positive and negative self-talk, discuss how social media sites can impact our self-esteem, and describe positive qualities in themselves.
  
• Stress: Finding the Balance — Participants will explore different types of stress, common positive and negative activities often used to decrease stress, and ways to approach stressors within and outside of their control.
  
• Dealing with Depression — Participants learn more about the signs and symptoms of depression, how brief exercise can improve mood, and options for help with depression in their community and on campus.
  
• Just Keep Breathing — In this anxiety-centered outreach event, students will discuss their anxiety triggers and a variety of interventions they can implement to breathe through it. 
• The Healthy Love Party (with the Office of Violence Prevention Violence Intervention Peers) – Healthy Love Parties offer an engaging and relatable way to learn about safe and enjoyable sex. Topics include barrier methods, consent 101, campus resources, and ways to reduce the risk of STIs and unintended pregnancy. The session concludes with fun review games to reinforce learning.
