Workshops
The Health Promotion Department offers a variety of workshops and tabling options to the TU community available upon request.
We require all workshops and outreach requests be made three weeks in advance to ensure coverage for your event. Depending on availability, the workshop or table will be facilitated by either professional or student staff. If you have any questions, please contact us at healthed AT_TOWSON.
Please review the workshop options from the following list and then submit a request. All of the Health Promotion workshops are designed to be interactive, include time for personal reflection, share resources, include an actionable step students can take. You provide the room and any necessary technology (a way to show a PowerPoint presentation), and we will provide all other materials. Please note the requestor (e.g., RA, professor or student leader) must be in attendance during the presentation.
The following workshops can be facilitated by peer educators and student staff: Bystander Intervention, Let’s talk about Sex, Red Flags Green Flags, and Stressed, but still Thriving
For tabling requests, the Health Promotion team will provide resources to connect students to health and well-being resources across campus.
