Joining one of our peer education programs is a wonderful experience that allows you to connect with fellow students and the CSUN community. UCS has three student peer education programs:
- The BLUES Project
- JADE
- Project D.A.T.E.
Our programs aim to increase awareness and knowledge about significant mental health and wellness issues that impact students. We promote help-seeking behavior, as well as bystander intervention, through the provision of classroom presentations, tabling, and annual campus wellness events.
