A message from our CEO
We want to take a moment to acknowledge the political events unfolding in Minnesota and across the country, and to recognize the impact they may be having on members of our PHE community — including you, your families, and the young people and communities we serve.
We know that moments like these can feel heavy. They can surface fear, uncertainty, anger, grief, or emotional exhaustion, particularly for those who are directly or indirectly affected by immigration enforcement, political instability, or heightened public tension. Even for those not personally impacted, witnessing these events can be unsettling and distracting, making it harder to stay grounded in our day-to-day work.
The way we care for one another is foundational to the work we do and the values we stand for. You don’t have to have the “right” words or reactions. What matters is that we continue to lead with care — for ourselves, for one another, and for the young people who look to us as a trusted source of stability and support.
At Peer Health Exchange, our commitment to dignity, safety, and belonging for all remains unwavering. Please check out selfsea.org, which offers tools focused on both immigration support and mental health & emotional wellbeing.

by, with, and for young people
Peer Health Exchange was founded by young people, for young people. Our work began with teaching health workshops in public schools in order to fill the gap left by underfunded, understaffed district health programs. Since 2003, we have trained more than 15,000 college students to deliver health education to over 188,000 high school-aged young people.
