The Health Education and Prevention Services (HEPS) department supports the health and well-being of the CSU campus community by helping students get healthy, stay healthy, and drive change toward a healthier campus community.
We identify campus health priorities and deliver evidence-based, inclusive programs, services, and initiatives that empower students to achieve academic and personal success during their college years and beyond.
These practices involve fostering awareness, skill-building, and addressing the environmental context in which health behavior decisions are made to create a healthy learning community.
Focus areas include:
- Substance Misuse Prevention
- Mental Health Initiatives
- Well-Being Initiatives
- Peer Education (CREWS)
- Sexual Health Initiatives
- Tobacco Cessation
Health Education and Prevention Services also provides intentional health messaging, in collaboration with CSU Health Network Communications, and supports campus diversity, inclusion and belonging, violence prevention, financial wellness, fitness and nutrition, bicycle and pedestrian safety efforts.
