Peer Health Education

The Peer Health Education (PHE) program at VCU is supported by The Well and VCU University Counseling Advocacy Services.

The PHE program at VCU strives to:

• Create an environment of safety and learning to address current health topics.
• Develop strong cohesive partnerships on campus and in the community.
• Use a balanced approach that applies best practices to the promotion of a healthy campus and community environment.

Our Peer Health Educators are a diverse group of student leaders who provide quality, well-informed, peer-led education on relevant health issues impacting student well-being. 

All PHEs at VCU are nationally Bacchus Network Certified Peer Health Educators with training in four of our main content areas.

• Alcohol and Other Drugs
• Mental Health 
• Sexual Health
• Violence Prevention
