Peer Health Advisers
Peer Health Advisers (PHAs) are an on-campus group of student volunteers, who are supervised by TigerWell staff and:
serve as contacts for students seeking support,
provide referrals 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 and other substances
body image
eating concerns
mental health
nutrition
physical activity
sexual and reproductive health
sleep
stress
How to Get Connected
Contact a PHA in your residential college or explore their bios to find a PHA who shares similar interests or lived experiences.
In addition to providing health promotion programming, events and workshops, PHAs offer 1-on-1 Wellness Chats—a casual conversation over coffee or a snack— to discuss health or wellness concerns, help navigate resources, or chat about whatever is on your mind.
