Hello RU-MaCH!

The coordinator of The Preconception Peer Educators (PPE) Program at the Central Jersey Family Health Consortium, Betsy Coffin, will be coming in to speak to us about the PPE program and the possibility of conducting an all day Saturday training here at Rutgers which involves certifying a group of students after training about preconception health issues at our next RU-MaCH meeting which will be held tomorrow, Thursday, November 10th, 2016. The PPE Program was developed to raise awareness among college students about infant mortality and its causes. The PPE Program applies a peer education curriculum to equip college students with targeted health messages that they can spread throughout their campuses and communities. Trained PPEs champion these health messages in an effort to reduce infant mortality rates among all people, specifically those at-risk populations.

Time: Thursday, November 10, 2016- 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Place: Room No. 334, Rutgers School of Public Health, 683 Hoes Lane W, Piscataway, NJ 08854
