Pee for Pizza! Quick, confidential, and no big deal. Drop by for a quick STI test with SMDHU - and pizza! STIs can easily fly under the radar because they often don't show any symptoms. That's why it's a good idea to check once in a while so that you know your status!  What to expect: You'll have a private conversation with a nurse, do a quick urine sample, grab some free sexual health supplies, and have a slice of pizza!

safeTALK is a 4-hour, in-person workshop to build skills in suicide prevention. Participants will learn how to recognize and engage with someone thinking about suicide, overcome attitudes that act as barriers to help, talk openly about suicide and connect with intervention resources for further support.

Through presentations, audiovisuals, small group discussion and scenario practice, you will learn a 4-step TALK model and practical steps to help activate a suicide alert that connects people having thoughts of suicide with more specialized intervention care and relevant resources.

This workshop is free for all Lakehead students, faculty, and staff.

All participants will receive a learning booklet, resources and a Certificate of Completion.

Registration is required, space is limited.
