Many of us might have had a similar experience while growing up.⁠
⁠
Maybe a sit-down at the kitchen table. Or an awkward conversation in the car, eyes forward, radio on. Many of us got some vague warnings, euphemisms, a rushed explanation about birds and bees.⁠
⁠
For many of us, it felt uncomfortable - not because of the topic, but because of the message that we got: This is hard to talk about. This is embarrassing. This is taboo.⁠
⁠
But a relationship built on trust and openness can’t be built with just one conversation. It’s hard to build a foundation of openness and trust in just one big moment. ⁠
⁠
Instead, embrace the small moments. Like when your child asks a question, during a car ride or after watching a TV show.⁠
⁠
These conversations can change as kids grow, leaving room for curiosity and making it clear that you are a safe space for any question.

Maybe you've noticed controlling behaviour, tension, or subtle signs that something's wrong. You're not sure if it's abuse and you don't want to make things worse. REAL Talk can help you learn how to have safe, supportive conversations when someone might be impacted by abuse. One positive conversation can make all the difference to help end abuse in our community. Presented by Sagesse in partnership with STOPS to Violence. https://tinyurl.com/yc38y33a

January is Cervical Cancer month! SSH is proud to be a provider of this vital service and to put on events like Pap Palooza to increase access to cervical cancer screening. Cervical and a**l Pap tests help detect the signs of HPV and cancer. They lead to early detection, treatment and improved prognosis. SSH is proud to provide life saving healthcare in an inclusive and trauma informed way!

Due to increasing supply costs, pap tests are one of the most expensive services for our clinic to provide. Last year we delivevered over 500 cervical and a**l pap tests. This year is on its way to being another record breaking year for the volume of patients in our clinic.

Help us continue providing free services and increasing access to sexual health. You can donate to our healthcare services at saskatoonsexualhealth.ca/donate. A donation of $50 pays for all of the supplies needed for a pap test. We appreciate any amount! You can support us on our Canada Helps page (link in bio).

38 years ago, the R. v. Morgentaler decision affirmed that abortion is healthcare. It recognized that everyone has the right to decide if, when, and how to have children.

Nearly four decades later, that principle matters more than ever. Here in Canada, sexual health centers are slowly closing their doors, waitlists continue to rise, and healthcare access is near impossible for many 🏥. Around the world, reproductive rights are under attack — and millions still lack access to safe, legal abortion care.

Canada’s leadership in global family planning saves lives, prevents unsafe abortions, and builds stronger, more stable communities 🌎. But as some call for funding cuts, we must stand up for reproductive freedom at home and abroad.

As we mark the Morgentaler anniversary, let’s protect the progress we’ve built. Together, we can ensure that every person has access to safe, essential healthcare. 💊

🎗️ Canada could eliminate cervical cancer by 2040, experts say

Health leaders say Canada can wipe out cervical cancer within 15 years — but only with stronger HPV vaccination rates and wider use of HPV-based screening. Despite being largely preventable, the disease claimed nearly 430 lives in 2025, prompting renewed calls to expand access, including self-screening and pop-up clinics, especially for underserved communities.
