Peer Education

Northwest Bearcat Peer Educators are students who are passionate about promoting health and wellness to their peers.  Many Peer Educators have received certification through the BACCHUS Network, a national peer education network. Through interactive activities in and out of the classroom, they share the vision of Wellness Services with the campus community. They educate other students through classroom seminars, special programs, and awareness campaigns. Topics Peer Educators address include: alcohol and drugs, wellness, relationships, sexual assault, body image, diversity, stress management, and others. Presentations can be tailored to fit the audience’s needs. For more information about becoming a Peer Educator or to schedule a presentation, contact Peer Education at the Wellness Center, (660) 562-1348 or email at peeredu@nwmissouri.edu.
