"To safely intervene and care for your community members is what it means to be Orange. "
The Barnes Center at the Arch offers these strategies to consider if you observe or witness various situations where intervention may be needed.

Peer Educators are undergraduate students that provide health and wellness education to their peers through interactive programs, tabling and other outreach events.
