It’s Sexual Health Awareness Month—or as our peer educators call it, “Frisky February”—and The Peel’s compiled three resources to check out that promote sexual health, sex positivity, consent and more.
Peer Educators Encouraging Healthy Relationships and Sexuality
Speaking of peer educators, the Barnes Center at The Arch is home to the Peer Educators Encouraging Healthy Relationships and Sexuality (PEEHRS) who promote dialogue and educate the campus community on topics including consent, healthy relationships, prosocial bystander intervention, sexual health and pleasure. Interested in getting involved in peer education? The deadline to apply is February 10!
Safer Sex Express
Safer Sex Express is a sexual health supply ordering service that provides students with access to free supplies spanning condoms, dental dams, lubricants and more. You can order supplies online and pick them up at the Barnes Center, or have them discreetly delivered to your residence hall mailbox.
Workshops
Workshops and educational opportunities offer ways to learn more about sexual health, healthy relationships, consent and bystander intervention strategies. This month, the LGBTQ Resource Center is hosting a Kink 101 workshop on Feb. 11, featuring licensed therapist Cheyenne Taylor and covering communication, safety and consent. On Feb. 21, the Wellness Leadership Institute will host a prevent, support and report workshop to help attendees build a solid understanding of consent, learn bystander intervention strategies, and raise awareness about resources on campus. Look out for a Let’s Get Frisky workshop from the PEEHRS this month that covers all things sexual health, relationships, pleasure and consent. You can also connect with the Barnes Center peer educators, interns and staff during regular pop-up Health Hubs (follow @BeWellSU on Instagram for locations each week), providing fun, interactive activities on different health and wellness topics.
