HLP 2701: Peer Education Training Course

Need an elective that is fun and interesting?
Do you want to be able to help your friends?

This course is a three credit elective and is the foundation for Peer Education training. The HLP 2701 course will allow students to examine various theoretical models applicable to peer education. Information on contemporary college health issues such as alcohol and other drugs, sexual assault, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, and diversity will be discussed. Students will explore ways to assist their peers with life skills development when dealing with these issues. Instruction will be given on development and implementation of health promotion activities, strategic planning, confidentiality, presentation skills, listening skills, assertion skills and group facilitation skills. Students will then have an opportunity to utilize these skills and knowledge to present valuable information and act as a resource and referral source to other peers on campus.

*HLP2701 is a Pre-requisite to applying for a Peer Educator Coordinator position at The REAL Project.
