Sexual Health Advocates

Sexuality is an essential part of life that can be confusing and somewhat overwhelming at times. Learning about sexual health can help students develop healthy relationships and create a safer and caring community.

Sexual Health Advocates (SHAs) are students who have completed a course of training, leadership programs, and discussions that address students' sexual health concerns. SHAs are knowledgeable about:

• Contraception and safer sex methods: where to obtain them, prices, etc.;
• Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS: modes of transmission, prevention, and general info;
• Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues;
• The connection between sexuality and alcohol and other drug use;
• Sexual health issues in the context of other realities in students' lives, such as racism, sexism, heterosexism, and homophobia;
• Sexuality, relationships, and communication;
• Body image and sexuality.
