Real s*x ed includes everyone
🖤🩶🤍💜

Unlike abstinence-only, it doesn’t make assumptions about s*x and attraction, which are often rooted in gender, racial, and disability stereotypes.

It’s evidence-based. It doesn’t treat as*xuality like a condition or something to be ashamed of.

It informs you how to maintain healthy habits and relationships. All while centering YOUR experience 🌈

How should schools respond to student substance use?

Research shows suspension isn’t the most effective way to deter or address student substance use and may increase it. A health-centered response works better. It pairs clear expectations with a supportive conversation with a trusted adult, screening, education, and referral to counseling and family support, if needed. This keeps students connected to school, one of the strongest protections against continued or escalated use.

In this webinar, participants will explore the practices and benefits of a health-centered approach to responding to student substance use rather than a punitive one.

This one-hour virtual webinar will start at 3pm ET on Monday, November 9, 2026.

Today we celebrate and honor Inters*x Awareness Day!

On October 26, 1996, 28 people picketed the American Academy of Pediatrics’ annual conference in Boston to protest non-consensual surgeries. These activists, led by the Inters*x Society of North America (ISNA), bravely took a stand against the invisibility and medical harm inflicted upon inters*x people.

This day marks a continuation of this fight, as we stand in solidarity with inters*x communities in their struggle for bodily autonomy and justice.

To learn more about how you can be an ally to Inters*x communities, visit our friends at interACT. Show your solidarity and register for their Inters*x Awareness Day Celebration, tonight at 8:30pm EST– sliding scale options available.
