    To request a presentation, you can contact Dr. Natalie Rice-Thorp at (858) 534-3875 or by email at nricethorp@ucsd.edu.

Counseling and Psychological Services: Women’s Peer Educators

The CAPS Women’s Peer Educator Program seeks to promote gender equality by providing education and support to members of the UCSD community. We work within a feminist framework to plan and implement programs that raise awareness around issues that disproportionately affect women in our society. Areas we focus on include body image, sexual health, multiple role balance, mental health, gender bias, sexual violence, and other issues generated by the campus community. We work to form liaisons with other organizations and groups on campus such as the Women’s Center, AS Women’s Commission, Student Safety and Sexual Assault Resource Center, and Student Health Services to develop workshops and outreach activities.

Student Health Services

All programs are provided free of charge, and usually run about 1 hour. We suggest a minimum of 10 students per session. Plan ahead - allow at least 2 weeks to schedule a program.
