Did you know the most common symptom of a sexually transmitted infection is none at all? That’s why regular testing is one of the best ways to take care of your health and your partners'.
Student Health and Wellness, in partnership with the Thunder Bay District Health Unit’s sexual health team and LUSU, is offering confidential, drop-in STI testing at The Outpost from 11 am-2 pm.
Prioritizing your well-being and taking care of yourself is a lot like nurturing a garden. Water, sunlight, and patience are important things that plants (and students!) need to thrive. Join Student Health & Wellness to intentionally plant seeds of self-care by creating your own mini garden and reflecting on a wellness routine that works for you. The mini garden will serve as a visual reminder to take time for yourself while discovering new strategies to recharge, de-stress, and cultivate growth. All supplies to create your garden of self-care will be provided!
