Health Education is an integral part of Williams College Health Services. In addition to information provided by our doctors and nurses, the health educators are available for individual consultation with students on health issues such as eating disorders and body image concerns, stress management, rape and sexual assault, harasment, and sexual health.

The staff also provides substance abuse education and counseling for students. Students seek our services for tobacco cessation, tips for moderating or quitting use, and general information on alcohol and other drugs. We also offer support for students from substance abusing families.

Straight Dope, a marijuana education program, is available on an individual basis. Group education programs include tobacco cessation classes and Drink Smart, an alcohol education program.

The health educators offer workshops for the campus community and provide ongoing support to Junior Advisors, House Coordinators, Peer Health, and the Rape and Sexual Assault Network.
