Create a Health and Wellness Exhibit
- Always include the State Peer Advisor (SPA) volunteer or state wellness committee members in any health and wellness or substance use disorder exhibit or lecture during the state association meeting so attendees know where to get help.
- Get ideas from Take it to Your State (PDF), written by Peer Assistance Advisors Committee member Bridget Petrillo, APRN, CRNA.
- Recruit local students, or CRNAs who work together, to help organize or "staff" the table; great learning experience and intro to getting involved in the state association.
