By Anjali Sharma, First-year student, Public Health, David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics.
COVID-19 has made this academic year look different from past years. Sure, it may be easier to attend class from your bed, but the impact upon our social lives is a cause for concern. Social distancing is a public health term often used during this pandemic that refers to maintaining a distance of 6 feet from others to reduce the spread of the coronavirus and remain safe.

COVID-19 has altered lives around the world in unimaginable ways. Many of us never anticipated a world where we could not be face-to-face with our friends, our classmates or even some of our families. For people with mental health conditions, social distancing and public health regulations have taken a large toll. For many dealing with mental health issues, meeting with counselors and therapists was a routine part of life. Now, it is no longer safe to meet with mental health professionals in their office.

So, what are Health Hubs anyway? Health Hubs are student-run pop-ups around campus to inform and educate students about health and wellness resources. Each Health Hub focuses on a new topic, from staying safe on campus with COVID-19 to the Barnes Center at The Arch meditation room and pet therapy. These Health Hubs provide important information in an efficient way, and it is proven that peer education is a more effective way of spreading knowledge. A recent UNC U.N.C. Healthy Heels article, “The Power of Peers: Health Benefits of Peer Education,” explains that “peer education programs have been shown to be more effective than adult-led education programs in terms of changing behaviors, attitudes and norms.” With an emphasis on peer-led education, Health Hubs are the perfect way to gain valuable knowledge throughout one’s college career. Tayah Mccollum ’21, a team leader of the Be Wise team, says, “Peer education is an essential part of any college campus community,” as it allows “for a better flow of information because you are hearing it from one of your peers.”

When someone has COVID-19, their feces will contain RNA from the virus that slowly decays. As the virus passes through the body, the RNA sheds from the cells and exits the body through the feces.

Being social and getting involved is critical for your mental and physical health. According to the Journal of BMC B.M.C. Public Health, “the beneficial effects of volunteering on health outcomes have been well documented. Research has found that participation in voluntary services is significantly predictive of better mental and physical health.” Participating in some type of volunteering can improve self-esteem and life satisfaction, and decrease depressive thoughts. Volunteering can create a sense of community with the people you volunteer alongside while also creating a social circle for yourself.
