Consent doesn't ever stop, even when you're offline.

When sharing photos, tagging someone, messaging, and recording, digital spaces still require clear, respectful consent.

Choosing consent helps create safer, more respectful communities – both on and offline.

Work and school can be busy and demanding, which is why moments of fun matter.

Made a small mistake at work? It's alright, there's always tomorrow. Stuttered at school? That'll be a good laugh to share with friends.

A little laughter and lightness can go a long way toward easing stress and re-energizing the day.

Why is saying no hard?

Saying “no” can feel impossible sometimes. We worry about disappointing others, hurting feelings, or missing out.

But the truth is that every time you say “yes” to something that drains you, you’re saying “no” to your own well-being.

Boundaries aren’t selfish. They’re self-respect in action.

About the SPOT

There is no place like the SPOT in St. Louis.

Founded in 2008, the SPOT meets the needs of ALL youth between the ages of 13-24 with a comprehensive set of FREE medical and support services in a safe, youth-friendly environment. Our staff has met the needs of over 19,000 youth seeking medical care, social services, substance abuse assessments and counseling, mental health counseling, a safe place to hang out and much more.

Our philosophy requires that the SPOT be structured around the following guiding principles:

remove barriers that currently impede youth from seeking or obtaining health and prevention services;

create a center separate from a child or adult clinic environment that is youth-specific;

combine needed health and social services into a single setting;

engage youth in all aspects of the program development and allow opportunities for their leadership to be fostered;

successfully link youth into the existing healthcare system by addressing and eliminating specific barriers.

The SPOT is open Monday-Friday and provides the following services:

Drop-in: grab a snack, take a shower, do laundry, work on the computer, watch TV, participate in structured activities, and take home safer s*x kits;

Medical care: FREE medical services available Monday-Friday 1-5PM on a first-come first-serve basis (pregnancy testing, birth control, pap smears, STD testing, strep tests, etc.)

Counseling: talk to a licensed counselor about coping with stress, depression/sadness, anxiety/worries, alcohol/drugs, s*xuality and gender, work, school, trauma/bullying, or any problem or goal;

Testing: walk-in testing every day for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and trichomoniasis, plus free treatment for positive results;

Case management: finding a place to stay, applying for public benefits, getting vital documents, job readiness and resume development, assistance with hygiene supplies and clothing, etc.

In the end, it doesn’t matter why you come by. You’ll always feel like you belong at the SPOT.
