The LiveWell Peer Health Educators are current undergraduate and graduate students at UW-Seattle who facilitate peer-to-peer dialogue and learning on a variety of health and wellness topics aimed at promoting life-long behaviors that support health, self-growth, and meaningful connection. PHEs receive in-depth training and work closely with LiveWell staff as they grow their competencies and skills in health promotion and prevention work.
The workshops that Peer Health Educators facilitate are interactive, engaging, and meant to promote learning and dialogue amongst students in a peer-driven setting. Workshops can be requested for UW students by anyone- faculty, staff, students, registered student organizations, departments, etc.
PHEs are an essential component of health education and promotion in LiveWell and in the campus community, and often have the largest impact on improving the health and well-being of students by working in partnership with other students and organizations. We facilitate workshops, organize awareness campaigns, and host events aimed at developing life-long behaviors for health and well-being.
