Sexual Well-Being

The UHS Sexual Well-Being Team provides opportunities and education for students to better understand and respect their own sexual citizenship and those of others. The Sexual Well-Being Team encourages a judgment free and respectful approach to sexuality and intimate relationships; access to accurate and comprehensive information about sex, boundaries, sexually transmitted infections, and contraceptive options; and encouragement to be informed consenting adults.

The Sexual Well-being Team sponsors Sex Week each year as well as Sex Café, a bi-weekly gathering for students to discuss sexual health and well-being topics. Sex Café is hosted at the Duck Nest every other week. Follow the Duck Nest Instagram account (@uo_ducknest) for Sex Café dates and topics.
