Spooky season is the time for treats, not tricks. But here's the thing not everyone has the same interests and desires. Some people love candy corn and others don't which is completely valid 🍭

It's really that simple. Just like your taste in candy might be different from others, your interests in relationships aren't always the same. Setting healthy boundaries can help align your relationships with things that are best for you!

La temporada espeluznante es para dulces, no para trucos. Pero la cosa es que no
todas las personas tenemos los mismos intereses y deseos. A algunas personas les
gusta el dulce de calabaza y a otras no – y eso se vale.

Es así de sencillo. Al igual que tus preferencias en cuanto a los dulces pueden ser
diferentes a las de otras personas, los gustos en las parejas íntimas no siempre son
iguales. Al fijar límites sanos, ¡puedes alinear tus relaciones de pareja con lo que es
mejor para ti!

miedo. No as relaciones.».

🎃 “Costume is not consent” serves as a vital reminder that what someone wears—during Halloween or cosplay—never implies permission for unwanted attention, comments, or physical contact.

Respecting personal boundaries and bodily autonomy is essential, regardless of how someone is dressed. Let’s create spaces where everyone feels comfortable and respected! 💖✨

Repeat after me: A COSTUME IS NEVER CONSENT.

Remember, the costume someone chooses is simply an expression of their creativity and NOT an invitation for comments, touching, or any non-consensual advances!

Enjoy expressing yourself, communicate your wants, needs, and boundaries, and always respect the boundaries of others!

It's easy to get lost in the Halloween fun, but there's one thing to always keep in mind: consent is a great guide for exploring new places and even places you've been a hundred times.

Navigating social situations can be tricky, especially when it's dark outside or things get loud. Your judgment is your best compass. Follow it, and remember that consent is the clear, bright path.

Spanish
Es fácil perderse entre lo divertido de Halloween, pero hay que siempre tener en
cuenta una cosa: el consentimiento es una buena guía para explorar lugares nuevos e incluso lugares adonde has ido cientos de veces.

Navegar las situaciones sociales puede ser complicado, y más cuando se pone oscuro o hay mucha bulla. Tu juicio es tu mejor compás. Síguelo y recuerda que el
consentimiento es el sendero claro y luminoso.

Congratulations to the on their one-year anniversary!

💜 In just one year, this vital resource has responded to more than 1,200 inquiries—proof that it’s working exactly as intended. The Helpline offers free, confidential, 24/7 support for survivors of sexual assault through phone, text, and online chat. Its importance is clear: in the 2024 Crime Victimization Survey, 54% of New Mexicans reported being sexually assaulted or r***d in their lifetime—and 68% of them never received professional help.

At Solace Sexual Assault Services, we’re proud to provide another local 24/7 crisis response line in addition to our services: trauma therapy, advocacy, forensic interviewing, and education programs for survivors and their loved ones. Together, with the NMSA helpline and our other partners statewide, we’re ensuring that no one has to face trauma alone. 💜

A Wall That Speaks

Across the street, a powerful mural is taking shape created by 11 courageous youth artists. This work of art gives voice to the challenges too many young people face today: gun violence, mental health struggles, and the urgent need to be heard.

Facilitated in partnership by Santa Fe Public Schools’ WAVE program and New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence. This mural is more than paint it’s a movement, a message, and a mirror.

Stop by Saturday October 25th at 1pm. Take a moment, and let the wall speak to you.

Location: Santa Fe Teen Center (6600 Valentine Way, Santa Fe, NM 87507)

Do you have questions about relationships? That's normal! Don't be afraid to turn over a new leaf and ask. 🍁 The best way to learn and grow is by asking questions and talking to your friends, trusted adults, or mentors. Your comfort and safety, and the comfort and safety of others, are always worth the conversation.

The graphic reads “When in doubt turn over a new leaf and ask. The best way to learn is to ask. Have questions about relationships?
Talk it through with that teacher, coach, cool aunt, or other adult who always has your back!”

¿Tienes preguntas sobre las relaciones? ¡Es normal! ¡Atrévete a preguntar! La mejor manera de aprender y crecer es haciendo preguntas y hablando con tus amigos, adultos de confianza o mentores. Tu comodidad y seguridad, así como la comodidad y seguridad de los demás, siempre merecen una conversación.

¡Habla con ese maestro, entrenador, tía chida u otro adulto que siempre te apoya!»

Querer a una persona y respetarla van de la mano. El consentimiento no es una conversación que se tiene una sola vez, sino una práctica continua que consiste en prestar atención, escuchar y respetar los límites. Construyamos nuestras relaciones sobre la base del respeto mutuo.

Falling for someone and respecting them go hand-in-hand. Consent is not a one-time conversation—it's a continuous practice of checking in, listening, and respecting boundaries. Let's build connections on foundations of

☕️ Just like you’d never force someone to drink a latte they don’t want, or take a sip of yours without asking, we should never assume consent in any situation.

We all have the right to change our minds about our boundaries—just like we can change our coffee orders! So let’s make it a habit to ask before we act. Respecting each other’s choices is the best way to build trust and understanding. 💖

☕️ Al igual que nunca forzarías a alguien a beber un latte que no quiere, o tomar un sorbo del tuyo sin preguntar, nunca debemos asumir el consentimiento en ninguna situación.

Todos tenemos el derecho de cambiar de opinión sobre nuestros límites, ¡así como podemos cambiar nuestros pedidos de café! Así que hagamos un hábito de preguntar antes de actuar. Respetar las decisiones de los demás es la mejor manera de construir confianza y comprensión. 💖

The graphic reads “Consent is like a pumpkin spice latte—warm, comforting, and worth the hype.”
