PROGRAMS
Georgia State University Student Health Promotion offers a wide range of programs by request, facilitated by trained peer health educators or professional staff. Programs are designed for small groups (with a maximum of 40 participants), which allows interaction and more in-depth discussions around the health concerns of students. Student organizations typically request programs, departments and course instructors.
Requests for programs provided by Student Health Promotion. Please provide your requests at least two weeks prior to the program.
We are able to provide:
- Educational and interactive tabling: Team members will attend and facilitate the interactive and educational tabling.
- Health education presentation: Team members will facilitate a presentation for your class or group of at least 10 people.
- Ready-to-go program kits: After meeting with a Student Health Promotion team member, you will be given the necessary health education material to lead the program.
Our goal is to provide evidence-informed programs to address student health and wellness.

#YesToConsentPanthers
At Student Health Promotion, we believe that consent has five key components; enthusiastic, verbal, specific, sober and reversible.
- Enthusiastic - the presence of a ‘yes’ rather than the absence of a ‘no’.
- Verbal - one must receive a clear spoken ‘yes’ prior to sexual activity.
- Specific - consent applies to each sexual act individually.
- Sober - all parties must be free of the influence of alcohol and other drugs.
- Reversible - anyone can revoke their consent at any time.
Follow BeWellPanthers on social media and #YesToConsentPanthers to learn more about the program and ways you can get involved.

Naloxone Distribution Project
What is Naloxone?
Naloxone is a lifesaving medication that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose when given in time. Naloxone will not harm someone if they are overdosing on a different substance or experiencing another medical emergency. Naloxone is easy to administer. There are two forms that anyone can use: nasal spray, and injectable.
Naloxone Training 101
Georgia State University students can register for Naloxone Training 101; a training developed by Student Health Promotion and hosted on iCollege. Throughout this brief course, students will learn about the opioid epidemic from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, review a naloxone training video from Georgia Overdose Prevention, learn about naloxone kit availability, and take a brief quiz.
Pick Up Naloxone at the Student Health Promotion Office
After completing Naloxone Training 101 and receiving over 80% on the brief quiz, students may pick up a naloxone kit from the Student Health Promotion Office on the Atlanta or Clarkston campuses. Please contact Margaret Olson ([email protected]) to schedule a pick up.
