For Students

Student Health Associates & Peer Educators (SHAPE)

The mission of SHAPE is to improve the lives of African American women by engaging Spelman College students, Atlanta University schools, and the surrounding community in dialogue and frank discussions about health and health lifestyles, for positive outcomes. SHAPE aims to ensure that Spelman women and the community know how to build and maintain healthy lifestyles for today and tomorrow. This mission is accomplished through creative and innovative strategies incorporating education and information in two major thrusts:

• Women’s Health and HIV/AIDS/STIs/Abstinence
• Chronic Diseases and Nutrition and Fitness

Community outreach is a component built into each thrust.

SHAPE understands that Black women are an integral part of Black families, the community and ultimately the world; and we are committed to keeping Black women strong and healthy for years to come.
