Health Promotion Services is one of three branches that comprise the Center for Health and Wellbeing (CHWB) along with the Counseling Center and the Medical Unit. Health Promotion Services is dedicated to educating UVM students about college health issues such as safer sex, sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, body image, eating disorders, mental health issues, and a host of other health concerns that can potentially impact college students.
Health Promotion Services educates UVM students about college health issues through a number of fun and creative avenues. We celebrate awareness weeks, such as World AIDS Day, Sexual Responsibility Week, Stress Awareness Week, and Safer Spring Break with tabling events, on-campus activities, raffles, contests, posters and other print media, ribbon campaigns, and many other fun programs. Our goal is to raise awareness of these issues in order to help students make informed and educated choices about their own health and wellbeing, both today and in the future.
Health Promotion Services offers the opportunity to get involved in health education in your college community with the Student Wellness Action Team (SWAT) program. SWAT is a peer health education program that starts with taking a class, and ends with you bringing your creativity, energy and spirit to the issues that mean the most to you for the people you care about - your friends and community! Check it out today!
Health Promotion also offers educational programs and presentations to departments, clubs, organizations, residence halls, athletic teams, and classrooms. We have a commitment to Residential Life to offer Safer Sex/Sexual Health Programs and Alcohol and Other Drug Programs to all ten complexes in the Fall semester, and can offer programs to your organization on a variety of college health topics.
