What to do on a Tuesday night? One of the options to consider: TNC at The SPOT!

Mental health growth often starts with unlearning.
Unlearning the idea that rest is laziness.
Unlearning the belief that emotions are weaknesses.
Unlearning the pressure to always be productive or positive.

Rethinking those messages allows space for honesty and healing.

Readiness isn’t about age, relationship length, or social pressure. Nor is it defined by society or your family.

It’s about your comfort, consent, and choice. There is no right timeline for s*x.

When forming your goals for the year, be sure to keep s*xual health goals in mind also!

Whether it may be making s*xual health a part of your health care routine, understanding your own desires and needs, or having a safer s*x plan, all are important in regard to s*xual health!

1. What should you expect at The SPOT?
We don't just ask about your symptoms or your s*xual activity, but we ask about your mental health, relationship, and any substance use or experiences.

2. Why might a visit take longer than a routine checkup?
Well, we think it's important for us to ask all of these elements that relate to your s*xual health. Everyone gets approximately 20-30 minutes with a staff member to ensure that everyone gets the same amount of care that they need, and have their needs addressed!

3. Can I walk in for my next checkup, or do I need to schedule ahead of time?
Walk-ins aren't guaranteed appointments, so for your next checkup, be sure to use our scheduling link!

If your body feels out of balance, it may be responding to stress.

When stress lingers, it keeps the nervous system on high alert, often showing up as tension, digestion changes, sleep trouble, or low energy.

Remember: listening to your body is an act of self-care!

If you’ve ever tried to make an appointment online or over the phone, you know the struggle is real. Trying to understand things you’re unfamiliar with, and worrying that you might miss something important.

That’s why accessibility in s*xual health matters so much. Providing information in braille, audio, and screen-reader-friendly formats helps people understand their options clearly.

Everyone deserves understandable s*xual health resources so that they can make informed decisions about their bodies and well-being.

It could be journaling, yoga, spending more time outside than on a screen, reconnecting with old friends, or even drinking more water!
