Welcome

You may know us as the "free condom people" or you may not know us at all; regardless something has led you here. This page is for anything and everything related to health and wellness. I have created this page to represent the University of Cincinnati Wellness Center Peer Educators, and all that we encompass. Use this for entertainment, to gain knowledge, or simply to answer your most  basic wellness questions...the options are endless!  We will keep you updated on the peer educator events and opportunities going on around campus as well as countless resources and articles that directly relate to all aspects of wellness in a healthy life.

What you must know first is that we are not here to tell anyone how to live their life.  That phase of life typically occurs for the first 18 years of your existence. Now you have the chance to explore your own decisions. We as a group orient ourselves around the idea that everyone makes their own choices, and based off of my own observations, people tend to make better choices when there is more information provided. The goals of the Peer Educators focus on the Dimensions of Wellness: intellectual, emotional, financial, career, physical, social, spiritual, and cultural. This means that we have anything you could possibly want to know about the following topics: these are included but are not limited to alcohol, body image, financial wellness, general health and wellness, mental health, nutrition & fitness, sexual health, stress management, and tobacco & drugs. Seems like a lot right? That's because it is! We want to give you as many ways as possible to explore your questions, and gain answers.

While classroom lectures are intriguing on some level (or sleep inducing), we actually want to hear from you!  A large part of what goes on in our office is because of what you tell us is most interesting to you. Post your comments, pictures of healthy living, and links to resources that will make this page a truly valuable asset to the student community.  Stay tuned for the meet the peer educators page, and sections of the blog dedicated to the most pertinent and current health topics.

If you would like to actually come see us (because we love to see you), we are located in 675 Steger Student Life Center open 9-5 Monday-Friday. Stay posted!
