POP also empowers students to become critical thinkers.
Current workshop topics include alcohol and other drugs, the role body images has on eating disorders, and stress management. POP peer educators choose their own areas of concentration. Students in the program receive training in public health theory and presentation skills. They receive additional training from Health Promotion staff who oversee the topics areas they have chosen to address in their workshops. The structure of POP is to empower student peer educators to become aware of their own health and health behaviors related to their areas of interest.
