REACH
Real
Education About
College Health
Peer Education
at Binghamton University is designed
to heighten awareness and deepen understanding about
issues that directly affect the lives of students: alcohol
and other drugs, tobacco use, social life, HIV/AIDS,
sexuality, self-esteem, peer pressure,relationships,
and healthy decision-making.
The REACH
peer educators use a street outreach model to
bring crucial health information and resources to students
at Binghamton University!

The
goal of the outreach educator project is to provide health
information and behavior change skills to Binghamton University
students in everyday student locations and environments on campus.
Peer educators, acting in a health advocacy role, are armed with
a special tote bag filled with information and resources as well
as risk reduction materials (condoms, lubricant, tobacco quit
kits, etc.).
REACH Peers designed a float for Hot Hula
Homecoming
on October 11, 2003. The float won "Best Use of Theme"!

The REACH
peer educators engage students in their everyday environment (dining
halls, university union, bus stops, residential communities, campus
events, etc.) using short, focused conversations about a particular
health topic.
A pair of REACH Peers may approach you on campus! If so, feel
free to talk with them and ask questions...all conversations are
strictly confidential!
