All about your local s*xual health centre 💜🏥
Saskatoon Sexual Health is a non-profit organization located on Treaty 6 Territory. We take pride in providing s*xual and reproductive healthcare, education, advocacy, and abortion services to the people of Saskatoon and the surrounding areas. For the past 50 years, we have been dedicated to serving our community.

Our clinic and offices are now located at Suite 301A, 39 23rd Street E, in the Midtown Professional Centre at the corner of 23rd Street and Pacific Avenue. SSH has both drop-in clinics and appointment-based clinics with healthcare providers (find our hours in the 6th photo). We provide a wide range of free resources (e.g. condoms, period products, etc) and free or low-cost services (listed in the 3rd photo). We pride ourselves on accessibility and inclusivity. If costs are ever a barrier, let us know, as we receive donations from community members to reduce cost barriers. If you would like to contribute to this visit www.saskatoons*xualhealth.ca/donate.

Saskatchewan is up against various public health issues, which create a difficult landscape for s*xual & reproductive health
- 3x the national average of HIV
- 2x the national average of chlamydia, gonorrhea and Hepatitis C
- Over 1,200% increase in syphilis from 2018-2023
- Low cervical cancer screening (Pap test) adherence

Saskatoon Sexual Health aims to address these public health issues through inclusive care, accessible services and harm reduction! We provide s*x positive s*xual and reproductive health services with an emphasis on safe, inclusive, empowering clinical care and education. We advocate for change within our community, working with diverse communities to promote healthy and informed s*xualities.

We’re kicking off a new fundraising campaign to help us continue delivering gold-standard s*xual and reproductive healthcare and we need your support!
While we’re grateful to receive core funding, it doesn’t fully cover the total cost of operations. This year, we’re fundraising an additional $45,000 to help bridge the gap, specifically to cover the rising cost of cervical cancer screenings, STBBI testing, and treatment supplies.

Thank you to all of the local businesses and Pride events that have helped us work towards this goal! .co we appreciate your generosity and support of s*xual and reproductive health.

Here’s what your support helped us accomplish last year:
🏥 385 clinics held
👥 5,547 clinical patients
🔬 9,961 STBBI tests
💊 741 medications provided (STBBI treatment + HPV vaccines)
💉 1,033 contraceptives and insertions
🧪 534 Cervical and A**l Cancer Screenings tests
🛡️ 371 PrEP patients supported
⚕️773 pregnancy options counselling sessions, 240 abortions, and 250 referrals

We have also provided hundreds of emergency contraceptive pills and over 100,000 free condoms to our community members!

Our fundraising drive this year will help us increase our numbers! Every donation helps us continue to offer inclusive, compassionate, and essential care to thousands of people in our community.

✨ Help us reach our $45,000 goal: visit www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/s*xual-health-centre-saskatoon/ and donate to our general fund✨

Too often, culture isn’t accessible for inner-city youth. Whether it’s because of transportation, lack of resources or finding those relationships. That’s why we’re doing it right here at Chokecherry Studios.

Youth Culture Days is about meeting youth where they’re at, creating space for connection, pride, and community. When the road to culture feels too far, we bring it home.

Pride month is coming to an end, but our allyship and advocacy must continue! Our commitment to inclusion, equity and community is long term. 🏳️‍⚧️💜🏳️‍🌈

Every Pride, Saskatoon Sexual Health selects a theme for the parade that embodies s*xual health, reproductive justice and/or q***r liberation. This year, we selected Lavender Menaces. To us, this is a reminder that inclusion, equity and diversity are the ways we move forward and protect our rights. Especially, as the 2SLGBTQIA+ community faces increased violence and harmful policies it feel poignant to remember q***r history, resistance and resilience.

Protecting trans rights, q***r folks and access to affirming healthcare are part of our feminism! Happy Pride to all our fellow Lavender Menaces!!

💜🌈
