In our Kensington clinic, we keep a memorial board for clients and staff to add names of those we have lost. Out of respect for them and their families (and HIPAA adherence), we cannot share the names of those very special people here.

However, we can acknowledge all the different complex experiences of those loved ones before they died. On Overdose Awareness Day, Courage mourns those that gave us the privilege of knowing them; whether it was for years or a single day. Every single person we have lost this year was irreplaceable, and we will not forget them.

Please add in the comments your own experiences/themes of loss that you have noticed this year. It is a really hard topic, which is why it is so important to witness each other's grief in community. We hope to keep talking about it with you.

Here is another spotlight in appreciation of our renaissance woman, Emily! She is our s*xual health queen, who is a main driver behind most of our STI testing at outreach events. She is always working on new connections and resources, and we love her intellectual and inquisitive nature. Emily works tirelessly to ensure that all of our sites have safe s*x and hygiene supplies as well as the knowledge on how to use them. She actually just got us a huge donation of dental dams (oral s*x protection), just in time for Pride month.

As if that doesn't keep her busy enough, she is also a therapist that focuses on mindfulness and finding safety within our own bodies. She is known for her calming nature, fierce advocacy, and radical acceptance with our clients.

Thank you Emily for all you do!

It’s May! And we are observing *xEdForAll Month 👏🏿 all 👏🏼 month 👏 long. Because ALL people deserve access to s*x education. PERIOD. 🗣No matter who you are or where you live, you deserve access to s*x education that is age-appropriate and covers a wide range of topics.

In 2026, vital programs that help young people make safe, informed choices are at risk of being taken away.
This is part of a larger effort to limit conversations about identity, health, and rights.
📣 S*x Ed isn’t the problem—it’s part of the solution.
Join us in calling for inclusive, medically accurate s*x ed for ALL people."

S*x Ed for All Month—an annual campaign coordinated by the S*x Education Collaborative—is a national call to action to ensure all young people have access to s*x education that is comprehensive, medically accurate, and inclusive. In 2025, this is about more than just s*x education. S*x Ed for All Month is about fighting back against attacks on truth and standing up for young people.

Now, more than ever, we must ensure that s*x education is valued as a fundamental right.

Did you know that Courage Medicine uses their MTV to travel around Southwest Philly doing outreach all week?

On Fridays, we pull up in Grays Ferry for FREE testing for HIV and other s*xually transmitted infections. We give out food and other harm reduction resources as well.

Please come by this Friday to see us at 5213 Grays Ave anywhere from 10-3pm. Look out for the beautiful chalkboards and meet the outreach team who made them!
