Fondation Santé des Etudiants de France
Develop a program to combat excessive alcohol consumption among young people.
The PEER CARE program provides training in the early detection of alcohol consumption, and is based on a "peer-to-peer" approach within student communities, to help spread prevention messages.
La Ramsay Sante Foundation has been involved in preventive health care for students for several years, and supports the FSEF and its program, which will be rolled out across the country.
The PEER CARE program
Its aim is to transfer skills to a group of students on university and Grande Ecole campuses, so that they can help other students to deal with excessive drinking themselves, in a logic of knowledge appropriation and empowerment. By deploying awareness-raising actions within their wider community, students take on a genuine relay role.
Indeed, young people are more receptive to prevention messages against the risks of alcohol if they are presented by other young people.
The Fondation Santé des Etudiants de France (FSEF), recognized as a public utility, aims to contribute to the health of teenagers and young adults, by guaranteeing the continuity of their school and university careers.
In its 26 establishments throughout France, the FSEF's main missions are prevention, care, study, integration and social promotion, in partnership with the French Ministry of Education and higher education.
