Give the gift of sexual health care!

Did you know? SSH has a “sponsor an IUD” fund, and you can sign up to be a monthly donor or offer a one-time donation to help people in our community afford an IUD. Long acting reversible contraceptives can cost anywhere from $85 to $400 dollars. You can make a one time donation or monthly one to support birth control access.

Bodily autonomy shouldn’t be cost-prohibitive, and this is a tangible way to support reproductive care for a neighbour in need.

Carrying naloxone can save lives! And it’s available for FREE at most pharmacies and many community organizations. With Prairie Harm Reduction closing, many people in Saskatoon will not have access to drug testing, safe consumption sites and other life saving harm reduction services. Having naloxone and getting overdose response training is even more vital! Swipe to find out where you can find a naloxone kit or training in Saskatoon.

If you would like to know how to respond to an overdose, CATIE has a guide and pamphlet on how to respond to an overdose and use Naloxone. Also, you can visit the province’s mental health and addictions website to see the map of take home naloxone program sites all over Saskatchewan. The link is in our bio (https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/health/accessing-health-care-services/mental-health-and-addictions-support-services/alcohol-and-drug-support/opioids/take-home-naloxone-program-sites). Also, you can call or visit the 211 community services hotline (call or text 211 or visit their website at sk.211.ca).

Naloxone, sometimes called by it’s brand name Narcan, is a fast-acting medication that can reverse an opioid overdose within 2 minutes. If there’s no response in 2-3 minutes, more doses can be given safely. Naloxone works by kicking off opioids from brain receptors, which blocks their effects. Opiates can last a longer in the body than the naloxone. It is good to monitor the person and see if additional doses are needed.

If you are responding to a suspected overdose, naloxone is safe to administer even if the person isn’t overdosing on op**tes, as it only acts on op**te receptors, does not create dependency, and is suitable for all ages.

We have a couple things happening this month!! Join us at our upcoming events for fun, education and community!

April 18 - Yintah at Paved Arts
Our next CARES programming session is a movie night. Join us for pizza and celebrate earth day as we watch Yintah. The 2024 documentary is about indigenous sovereignty and land protection in the Wet’suwet’en territory.

April 21-22 - SK Ballroom Workshop Series
From a kiki to sexual health knowledge, ballroom culture has been a space for sharing, care, community and health. The ballroom scene has been and continues to be a vital part of QTBIPOC activism and HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention. In this workshop, Saskatoon Sexual Health will discuss the tradition of community care and sexual health education in the ballroom scene. Join and learn how 2SLGBTQIA+ communities have cared for each other and how we can continue those traditions.

This drug alert was just released in the Saskatoon area. Please be aware and take care out there.

Recent developments in Saskatoon point to a concerning shift in how governments are responding to the toxic drug crisis.

Framing policy responses as a choice between recovery and harm reduction risks creating a false dichotomy. Treatment and recovery services are essential—but they do not meet the needs of everyone. For those who are not ready or able to pursue treatment, supervised consumption services are life-saving supports and often a critical entry point to care.

An effective response requires a full continuum of services—prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery—so people can access the care they need, when they need it.

Do you want to prevent STIs? PrEP and Doxy PEP are important medications for harm reduction and sexual health. PrEP prevents HIV, and doxy PEP prevent syphilis and chlamydia. These medications are free if you have an active Saskatchewan health card. Book an appointment with SSH to start PrEP and/or doxy!

Canada’s rates of STIs are on the rise. particularly syphilis. Syphilis rates now are 5 times the rates of 2012. Saskatchewan is no exception, in fact, we have double the national average of chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV and Hepatitis C. The number of new diagnoses of HIV in SK is 5 times the national average.

These high and rising rates of STIs are a threat to public health. PrEP and doxyPEP are important harm reduction tools that protect you and our communities.

Saskatoon Sexual Health is lucky to have some amazing community partners. We’ve had a relationship with the United Way for almost two decades now, and we are looking forward to working with them over the next two years to bring inclusive healthcare to Saskatchewan. Their work is so important and we’re grateful to collaborate around our common goal of improving lives through collective action.

As they say:
United, we can amplify each other’s strengths.
United, we can foster a culture of learning and accountability.
United, we can demonstrate what is possible when organizations come together with purpose and respect.
