Peer Education Program

Please note:

• Outreach & Health Presentations: If you would like to have a staff member from SHAC come talk to your student group about SHAC services (or about a specific health topic), call SHAC at 277-7947. Depending upon staff availability, we will be happy to accommodate your request.

General Information About the Peer Education Program: This program focuses on creating health awareness within the UNM community. SHAC staff and practitioners train peer health educators to offer presentations dealing with sexual health, nutrition and fitness, stress/time management, suicide prevention, substance abuse, and other health-related topics. UNM program representatives can request for 50-minute health presentations to be offered to their student groups in dorms, classrooms, and other on-campus locations. Based on the Stages of Change Theory (.pdf), peer educators provide information from a pre-contemplation stage (group focus/indirect approach) by creating health awareness among their peer population and informing them about one-on-one support. These students also have an opportunity to coordinate an event for their peer population. This is a free service for UNM students and organizations. Students earn academic credits to serve as a peer health educator.
