More About the PEERS Program
The PEERs (prevent, educate, empower, refer) Program is a collaboration between the Office of Substance Use Programs, Education and Resources (SUPER), and the SHARE Education Team, with support from Well-being at Stanford. PEERs promote an integrated model of health and well-being that recognizes these topics do not exist within a vacuum of one another. They are educators who can speak to the nuances of where topics overlap and diverge and how they directly relate to the student experience.
The PEERs program was born out of a specific recommendation embedded in the alcohol solutions group 2019 final report. PEER education is a cornerstone with Stanford and within the SUPER office. We are dedicated to a public health approach and partnering with student to accomplish our goals and making Stanford a safe, healthy, and thriving community.
