From Staff Reports
ALBANY — Phoebe’s Network of Trust School Health Program is partnering again this year with Albany State University’s Project S.T.O.P. (Students Taking on Prevention) in presenting the Get A Life! Maze and Wellness Event, which will be held today from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in ASU’s HPER Gym.
The Get a Life! maze is an interactive simulation of choices that students make in real life and the consequences, both positive and negative, that result from those choices. In addition to the Get A Life! maze, the accompanying wellness fair will provide health screenings and confidential HIV testing provided by Albany Area Primary Healthcare, as well as fitness demonstrations, displays from local organizations and healthy snack taste-testing. There will also be giveaways for those who attend the event.
The maze and wellness event brings together representatives and volunteers from 25 local community organizations. More than 300 students, faculty and staff are expected to attend the Get A Life! Maze & Wellness Event. Sponsors of the event are ASU’s Project S.T.O.P., We Are One ASU, Phoebe’ s Network of Trust School Health Program, and the Taking Time for Teens: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Coalition.
Co-hosts for the event are ASU’s Master of Public Administration Program, ASU Division of Student Affairs and Success, and ASU Department of Athletics. The event is funded in part by a grant from SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).
The partnership between Phoebe’s Network of Trust and ASU’s Project S.T.O.P. aims to increase awareness and education in Dougherty and Terrell County on specific health-related topics, including prevention of HIV, HCV and HPV and the use of alcohol and drugs.
The Get A Life Maze and Wellness Event is free and open to all ASU students, faculty and staff.
