My name is Stephanie Van Stralen. I am 20 years old and a junior here at SDSU. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in Counseling and Social Change. I am a Peer Educator at Counseling and Psychological Services (C&PS). My role includes being actively involved in outreach programs on campus through the counseling center, work with students on academic probation and give tours of The Center for Wellbeing (a free relaxing place for students in the Counseling Center) as well. As a C&PS Peer Educator I am trained to give stress management presentations and am trained in motivational interviewing. I am educated in all that the Counseling Center has to offer and think it would be great if the students knew what was available to them as well. I am also very interested in Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD), and am currently a Peer Health Educator in training for AOD. One idea that I believe would make the education in stress management fun would be to put on a presentation that is very interactive and end it with a relaxation exercise and refer them to set up a tour of the Center for Wellbeing. Another idea I would like to see an AOD presentation that would also be fun and interactive using the alcohol goggles or so the students can participate. I have the resources to create presentations in both of these areas and am excited to help in any way I can!
