Student Health Promotion envisions a healthy Georgia State University in which students are empowered and reinforced for making healthy choices that improve individual health as well as the health of the campus-community.  It is our mission to provide (and support) health promotion services, events, programs, and community partnerships, which empower Georgia State University students to make informed, healthier choices and engage in harm reduction/disease prevention strategies. 
Student Health Promotion provides wellness education in fun and interactive forms, aids in connecting students with resources to gain knowledge and facilitate behavior change and provides opportunities for peer to peer education. The Department promotes and encourages self-responsibility, conscious decisions, and informed choices in relation to health.  A wellness library with books, videos, brochures, posters, and other materials are available to students. Groups and individual students are encouraged to stop by the office to learn more about promoting a healthier Georgia State. 

Peer Health Educators provide a key leadership role in creating a healthy campus.  Student Health Promotion uses trained graduate and undergraduate peer educators called PHEs – Peer Health Educators. The PHEs provide many of the Department’s services. The PHEs have received specialized training in public health initiatives, health promotion programming and dimensions of wellness. The PHEs are the Universities first-response to health promotion and wellness education.
