Join us at our FINAL TWO Lunch & Learns of the semester! 🌟✨

Is it really as simple as Tylenol?

Join us on Tuesday, April 21st as we take a closer look at the abortion pill - what it is, how it works, what it involves, and whether it’s the right choice for you. Understanding the realities of the abortion pill is imperative for young women today, and we’re committed to creating a safe, informative space where your questions can be heard and addressed.

On Tuesday, April 28th, we’ll discuss how trace amounts of substances - including hormones from birth control - can make their way into water systems, and what it means for our health. This will be an open, informative conversation focused on separating fact from fear, understanding environmental impacts, and empowering women with knowledge to make informed decisions.

As women, it is so important to be well-informed advocates of our bodies. Lunch & Learn provides opportunities for UNI students and young women in the community to join in on discussions around women’s health topics. We will provide a light lunch, and have community professionals join us to guide discussions around menstrual cycle health, cycle syncing, sexual health, and more!

Bring your questions, experiences, and a friend. No registration required. We look forward to engaging with you all in important conversations around women’s health! 🤍
