Sexual Health

Our Goal

To provide the University of Wyoming with a more inclusive, safe, and knowledgeable culture on what sexual health is and the resources available. We connect with other organizations all over campus to give the school’s community more access to the health they deserve. We also work with the No More Coalition and Green Dot to prevent violence on campus. 

Creating Boundaries

In any relationship, boundaries are a healthy concept to incorporate. However, they can be difficult to set. By having boundaries, it can allow you to have higher self-esteem, help save some of your emotional energy, and help one feel more independent. First, define your boundaries. What values are important to you, understand that you have human rights and deserve to be treated as such, and finally what feels important to you. Secondly, to bring these boundaries to life, be assertive. Being assertive can be scary but learning to say “no” can make the difference in your own emotional needs. And of course, remember to recognize and respect others’ boundaries as well.
