Take10 - Sexual Health & Know Your Status

It's February, which means love is in the air. And you know what else is in the air? A whole world of bacterial and viral infections just waiting to make themselves at home in your vulnerable mucus membranes. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) aren’t gross, yucky, a sign of poor judgement or character, or even all that uncommon. In fact, if you have sex, you’re probably going to end up getting one. You’re literally more likely to get one than to never get one. You might even have one right now and not know it. And that’s not the end of the world.

(OR) Sexual Health Bingo

Come and join Student Health & Wellness for a game of Sexual Health Bingo, which we will be geared towards breaking down the stigma surrounding all things sex and masturbation! There will be sexual health prizes for the winners! Let’s talk about sex! 

All are welcome! No registration is required.

 

(OR) Your Hips, Your Back, Your Pelvic Floor & the Facts

Join Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist Carolyn and Chiropractor Dr. Tara for an introduction to your pelvic floor, back and hips and how their healthy functioning and mobility contributes to intercourse. Learn how muscles and your nervous system can influence intimacy, as well as general information regarding lubrications, vaginal skin care, and exercises that can help with enjoyable intercourse!

Valentine's Day Card Marking

What better way to let someone know you are grateful for their presence in your life than with a hand made Valentine's Day card? Stop by Simcoe Hall and make and decorate cards with your Peer Wellness Team and show your appreciation to someone. Calligraphy lessons will be available if you would like to make your card look extra fancy and learn a new skill that promotes relaxation and presence.

(OR) Therapy Dogs

The cutest kind of stress relief is back on campus! 

St. John Ambulance Therapy dogs will be visiting Heritage Place and Simcoe Hall from 1-2 pm on Tuesday February 28th.

(OR) Know Your Status

Stop by the Student Health and Wellness table located in Simcoe Hall February 7th from 1-3 pm to learn about Safer Sex, Healthy Relationships and find out about local sexual health resources available to you. Getting tested and knowing your status is critical in protecting yourself and your sexual partners.

(OR) Mindfulness Jars

Get crafty with Student Health and Wellness by making a glitter mindfulness jar. A mindfulness jar is a great way to get into the practice of meditation, or just serve as a reminder to clear your mind. You can give your jar a shake, watch the glitter settle, and breathe. Plus, they are super pretty!
