CPE training is an effective strategy for building a well-educated and sustainable peer education group. CPE Training helps peer educators develop leadership skills to successfully create and implement campus programs. The training includes eight modules covering the role of peer education, helping peers make a behavior change, listening skills, response, referral skills, taking action and intervening, recognizing diversity and inclusivity, programming and presentation skills, self-care, and group dynamics.
Initially launched by the BACCHUS Network in 1994, the Certified Peer Educator program has been an asset to health and wellness peer educators, leading to the certification of more than 200,000 individuals since its inception. As the higher education landscape has evolved, so have the roles of peer educators - whether in the capacity of traditional health and wellness peer educators, resident advisors, or orientation leaders. Campuses rely on their students to be curators of change and support systems for their peers, and the CPE program provides foundational-level skills to allow these students to succeed. Students will hone their skill sets throughout the 12-hour, 8-module course to be effective peer educators and leaders.
CPE is a 12-hour foundation training suitable for any collegiate peer education group. This training is broken up into eight distinct modules. The course can be taught during training over a long weekend or throughout a semester as part of a course. The modules and skill sets that your students will develop include the following:
