Let's Talk About Sex...ual Health
University Health and Counseling Services (UH&CS) is excited to pilot a new sexual health education program this semester, open to all Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) students. The Let's Talk About Sex...ual Health series provides students with evidence-based education on topics including female and male reproductive anatomy, contraception, and menstruation.
The program is designed to foster an open, judgment-free environment where students can ask questions, gain accurate information, and enhance their understanding of how to care for their sexual and reproductive health.
These programs are eligible for Explore credit and open to ALL CWRU, CIA, CIM, and KSU School of Podiatry students. See below for dates and registration links.
University Health and Counseling Services is bringing Mental Health First Aid—an evidence-based training program this fall led by certified trainers from CWRU. Mental Health First aid prepares participants to recognize warning signs of mental health challenges, offer compassionate initial support, and guide individuals toward appropriate campus or community resources. The curriculum covers common conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, and substance use, and emphasizes non‑judgmental listening, risk awareness, and referral steps.
UH&CS is proud to announce that we have welcomed ten new Peer Health Educators to the team. If you are not familiar, our PHE team is a group of students who are committed to creating a culture of wellness within the CWRU community. PHEs advocate for and promote health choices, personal well-being, and community safety through leadership, education, and awareness through workshops and on-campus events to meet the health and wellness needs of CWRU students.
