Prevention and Health Promotion
The Prevention & Health Promotion unit supports a student’s autonomy to make informed health decisions by providing quality wellness education in order to prevent negative outcomes.
We educate students about alcohol and other drugs, mental health, interpersonal relationships, and other pertinent health information. We facilitate our education through interactive tables, events, and presentations, as well as consultations. Our programming is often delivered by our certified Peer Health Educators to make the biggest impact on our campus.
Programming
Programming is an essential component to the work we do on campus. We partner with campus and community organizations to provide wellness education in fun, informative ways. We will often table, host events, or facilitate presentations on our various wellness topics. If you are interested in requesting us/our Peer Health Educators to deliver this programming, please contact us.
Peer Educator Program
Peer Health Educators are NCF’s peer education program. This peer education group consists of students with various Areas of Concentration, life experiences, and years in college. Our Peer Health Educators go through a certification process to ensure they are delivering evidence-based programming on campus via tabling, presentations, and events.
This program provides high-impact learning opportunities for students who are passionate about the pursuit of knowledge for themselves and more importantly, their fellow students. If you are interested in becoming a Peer Health Educator, please contact us.
Wellness Consultations
Consultations can include goal setting, gathering information on a wellness topic, asking general wellness information questions, connecting you to wellness resources, and/or consulting on an event to ensure wellness is at the forefront. In cases of educational sanctions, this service will discuss the alcohol and other drug usage surrounding the conduct case and provide education on the risks associated with use.
Your information remains private and not confidential per the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This privacy is similar to the privacy you can expect from private conversations with faculty, staff, and Student Affairs personnel. In cases of educational sanctions, we will disclose to the overseer of the case that the student has met with CWC staff but will not disclose the conversations held during the service unless it conflicts with limits to
privacy.
If you are interested in a wellness consultation, please contact us.
