Peace of Mind

Peace of Mind is a Northwestern student group that believes that the boundaries that exist between Islam and Judaism are largely superficial. Accordingly, we host events, such as political discussions, cultural exchanges, and social get-togethers, where students can learn more about Judaism, Islam, and the common ground between the two religions that is so often ignored. We laugh, we disagree, and we learn a lot from one another. We ask only that our members be willing to listen to each other, and that they bring open minds alongside their personal perspectives.

Peer Health Exchange

PEER HEALTH EXCHANGE PARTNERS WITH PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS THAT LACK HEALTH EDUCATION: PHE works with high schools that lack health education and in which the majority of the students live at or below the poverty line. These students experience a disproportionate number of serious health risks ranging from teenage pregnancy to obesity. PEER HEALTH EXCHANGE TRAINS COLLEGE STUDENTS TO TEACH A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CURRICULUM IN THESE SCHOOLS: PHE recruits, selects, and trains college student volunteers to teach high school students a comprehensive health curriculum consisting of twelve standardized health workshops on topics ranging from decision-making and sexual health to substance abuse and nutrition. Several studies demonstrate that teenagers better absorb health information when it is delivered by educators of a similar age as opposed to adult educators. 74% of PHE high school students said that having college students lead PHE workshops helped them learn about the health topics. As slightly older peers, PHE volunteers provide the benefits of peer education while also conveying the advantages of traditional instruction. They deliver health information to teenagers in a language and context that is relevant to their everyday experiences, yet they can also serve as role models, demonstrating healthy behaviors and the successful transition from high school to college. PEER HEALTH EXCHANGE GIVES TEENAGERS THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THEY NEED TO MAKE HEALTHY DECISIONS: In the classroom, PHE high school students articulate their values and goals, learn basic, accurate health information, explore attitudes and perceptions of peer norms and peer pressure, analyze the influence of culture and the media on health, discuss barriers to healthy behaviors and strategies to overcome them, and identify and learn how to use the health resources in their communities. PHE volunteers help high school students practice skills such as effective communication, risk evaluation and prevention, limit-setting, and decision-making in role-plays and scenarios that resemble difficult, real-life situations. By applying the skills they learn in PHE workshops outside of the classroom, PHE high school students can make informed decisions that will help them stay and excel in school, join and remain part of the workforce, and become healthy adults capable of producing healthy families.
