    <div>A Brief Introduction to Suicide Prevention</div>

    <div>Suicide can be prevented. This presentation will cover what we know about this leading cause of death, the most up-to-date research on prevention, and what we can all do to fight suicide. Participants will learn the common risk factors for suicide, how to spot the warning signs in others, and how to keep ourselves, our loved ones and those in our community safe.</div>

<Title>How to Have &#8220;The Talk&#8221; with your Partner(s)</Title>
<Tagline>Promoting Healthy Relationships and Setting Boundaries</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>As college students, we are all still learning how to navigate our sexual health. It's important to understand how broad the topic of sexual health is. It includes your sexuality, sexual preferences, wants and needs, etc. Having a solid understanding of sexual health and knowing your own boundaries and how to communicate them is crucial when engaging in new relationships. This can be key in understanding yourself and establishing healthy relationships and a mutual understanding with your partner(s).</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For many, sex is a taboo topic of conversation. Because of this, it can feel pretty awkward to talk about your sexual health with someone else, especially when entering a new relationship. Having the conversation doesn't have to feel awkward. In fact, talking about sex can benefit the relationship and your experiences long term. Sex can affect you in ways that aren't just physical. This is why it is very important to have conversations about sex before actually engaging.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Still feeling nervous? Here are a number of ways you can approach the conversation. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>You can: </div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Ask your partner to define sexual health, what does it look like for them? This is a good icebreaker and can make them feel more comfortable</li>
    <li>Let your partner know that it's important for you to discuss your sexual health and history. Then you can ask your partner when they last got tested and if you could both get tested before you get intimate</li>
    <li>Talk about your attitudes towards sex in order to get on the same page. "What are we each comfortable doing?" "Let's talk about personal boundaries"</li>
    <li>Reassure them that you're coming from a well-meaning and positive place.</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>It is important to know that even if you use any of these approaches, there's no guarantee that your partner will be receptive to having a conversation about their sexual health. If this does happen, you should consider whether or not it's worth moving forward in the relationship. The point of having these conversations about sexual health is to make sure both you and your partner feel safe and comfortable with one another. If they refuse to have that discussion, the relationship might not be worth pursuing. Remember to keep your needs in mind as you navigate these conversations and figure out your compatibility!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Know that if you ever need help navigating how to talk to your partner about sexual health, UMBC offers an array of resources such as the Office of Health Promotion (OHP) and Retriever Integrated Health (RIH). They are both located in The Center for Well-Being and can help you and/or your partner. To check out their services, head over to <a href="https://healthpromotion.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://healthpromotion.umbc.edu/</a> and <a href="https://health.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://health.umbc.edu</a>. </div>

    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Every April, Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) calls
    attention to the impact sexual violence has on our community and how we all
    play a part in prevention.</p>
    
    <p>The national theme of SAAM 2023 is “Drawing Connections:
    Prevention Demands Equity.” The campaign recognizes sexual violence as both a
    public health and social justice issue. <span>Systems
    of oppression such as racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, ageism, ableism,
    and others contribute to higher rates of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse.</span></p>
    
    <p>This year, we encourage you to examine and <span>draw connections between various forms of oppression and
    the underlying causes of sexual assault. In addition, explore how certain
    groups of people are at higher risk for sexual violence and how those same
    people are also the most impacted by inequitable systems and oppression in our
    society.</span></p>
    
    <p>This April don’t focus just on awareness but also action. <span>We’re asking you to join us in building equity and respect
    within our community. </span><span>We
    can help create change if we take the time to hear, understand, and recognize
    one another. </span><span></span></p>
    
    <p>Explore the UMBC departments and events that can help you
    build skills towards prevention and equity. Pick from this
    list at least <strong>one</strong> thing you can do to prevent sexual violence:</p>
