Sexual Awareness and Staying Safe (SASS) is back!
We’re re-launching our SASS campaign to raise awareness of sexual health and to share safe practise with students at the University of Chester.
Sexual health can be a stigmatising and sensitive topic to discuss with your mates and we’re aiming to: break down some of those uncomfortable barriers, share important information about topics such as consent and sexual abuse, bust some of those widely misconceived sex myths and signpost you to some amazing local support services across Chester, Warrington and Shrewsbury.
The fortnight is jam-packed with daily content, activities and virtual events. Take a read of some of the key ways to get SASSy this November:
SAFE SEX BAGS – Collect yours from 16th November
We’ve put together some safe sex materials and info for you to collect from your nearest campus.
Chester – Binks Info Point
Warrington – Students’ Union
Shrewsbury – Students’ Union
‘KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES’ TALK – 16th November @ 11am
Join the Wellbeing and Mental Health team at their workshop to identify and manage your personal boundaries in relationships and how to let others know too.
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS WEBINAR – 18th November @ 10:30am
Chester Women’s Aid is running a virtual workshop all about healthy relations. The session will give an introduction on types of relationships (coercive control, violence, financial, toxic, and loving) and provide opportunity for you and other attendees to discuss what is really meant by a healthy relationship.
CHESHIRE POLICE – ‘consent, keeping safe and how we can support’ – 26TH NOVEMBER @ 2PM
Join our local police officers in a talk where they can inform students all about consent and how to keep yourself safe whilst at University. The talk will explain the criminal justice process regarding sexual abuse and go into detail about what the role of the police is in those circumstances and how the wider support available.
In addition to these virtual events we have a whole fortnight of information and support heading out over our social media channels to cover more topics surround sexual health and awareness. Keep a look out for information which addresses: LGBT+ sexual health info, STI tests, local sexual health services, domestic abuse and report & support functions at the University.
