OUR PEER PROGRAMS
Peer Health Educators
Peer Health Educators (PHEs) create positive, fun, and non-judgemental programming with the goal of providing Queen's students with information and skills to make informed health and well-being decisions for themselves.
This year, PHEs have 8 topic teams made up of 41 volunteers. Each team has their own unique niche and works together on various projects. Some projects involve other campus partners, others involve creating informative videos and social media content.
Peer Wellness Coaches
Peer Health Educators (PHEs) develop initiatives that aim to give Queen's students the information and skills they need to improve their overall well-being.
PHEs are split into different topic teams: healthy eating, healthy cooking, rest & relaxation, mental fitness, sexual health, run club/physical activity and substance use.
Peer Wellness Coaches
Peer Wellness Coaches (PWCs) offer one-on-one appointments for any student who wants to move more, sleep better and/or improve focus and concentration.
These 30-minute appointments help students set a personalized health behaviour goal, discuss how to overcome potential barriers and maintain motivation.
Campus Observation Room
The Campus Observation Room (COR) is our on-site non-medical detox service overseen by Student Wellness Services with the support of trained student volunteers and professional Addiction Support Workers.
It is a voluntary, confidential and a non-judgmental place where students who have had too much to drink can come to sleep.
