Peer Education

Peer Education

If you have an urgent mental health concern during regular business hours, stop by the Health and Wellness Hub for a walk-in crisis appointment with a counselor. There also are several 24/7 crisis hotlines ready to help.

Peer educators are SFA students who work together to promote well-being. They increase awareness of student health issues and encourage positive lifestyles.

Peers Against Tobacco

Peers Against Tobacco is a peer-led tobacco/nicotine prevention program for colleges and universities across Texas. 

This initiative is led by students who strive to be health leaders on campus and being a positive influence on helping students continue SFA's tobacco- and vape-free campus culture.

PAT ambassadors receive training in:

  • the foundations of public health
  • providing interactive and educational outreach activities
  • and developing and staffing tobacco-free initiatives that positively impact campus health.

To become a PAT ambassador, email studentwellness@sfasu.edu.
