Peer Health Advisers (PHAs)  are an on-campus group of students, who are supervised by HPPS staff and:

• serve as contacts for students seeking support,
• provide referral to UHS and other wellness-related campus resources,
• stimulate awareness of and decrease stigma around health issues by implementing health promotion programs,
• work to reduce disparities in health and wellness outcomes, and
• help students to navigate UHS' services.

PHAs are knowledgeable about a wide variety of health issues, including:

• alcohol
• mental health
• nutrition
• physical fitness
• sexual and reproductive health
• sleep
• stress

Peer education programs are a meaningful way to participate in enhancing the health and well-being of your community. PHAs facilitate health-related programming on campus, including the Safer Sexpo, Ask the Sexpert column and mental health screenings.
