About PEP
Training and mobilizing medical professionals to create a new model for health education and illness prevention.
Doctors as Teachers
By connecting doctors directly with middle and high school students, PEP is working to transform the model of health education in the United States.
“[PEP Talks] makes me see things in a way I haven’t seen them. Now I look at drugs like, ‘This could actually happen to me.’”
— Brian Duran, high school student
Making a Difference
So far, our PEP Talks and social media outreach have reached thousands of teens and young adults in New York City, both in the classroom and online. Our work helps change attitudes and promote behaviors that prevent alcohol- and drug-related illness, injury, and death.
