The peer educators assist in the development and facilitation of multiple outreach events throughout the year and have the opportunity to provide input and feedback to the SCRS medical and administrative directors. The student members consist of undergraduates and meet quarterly with the moderator of the Peer Educator Program. The Peer Educator Program is currently supervised and coordinated by the SCRS Clinical Psychology Intern.
