It’s almost Halloween! 🎃 Whether you’re heading to a party or hanging out with friends, everyone deserves to feel safe while they celebrate. While statistics show that most teens aren’t actually drinking, when alcohol is around, the risk of harm goes up. A few simple habits go a long way: stick together, check in on each other, and watch your drink. And remember, somebody’s costume is NEVER an invitation to touch them, comment on their body, or take their photo. Consent always matters, no matter what anyone is wearing. Being a good friend means looking out for each other AND holding each other accountable. Swipe through for tips, then share this with your friends before next weekend. Want to talk more about consent, healthy relationships, and creating safer schools? Join us at SASH Club Online.

Let’s bust some MYTHS about periods and fertility! MYTH: Menstrual cycles are always 28 days long FACT: Cycles can have a big range and vary... from cycle to cycle, and from person to person Cycles could be anywhere from 21 to 100 days, or even longer. MYTH: Ovulation always happens on day 14 FACT: Ovulation could happen as early as day 6, as late as day 50, or even later Different factors in our hormones and lives could impact when ovulation actually happens For example, stress or travel can easily delay ovulation MYTH: Cycles should always be the same length FACT: Because the timing of ovulation can vary, the length of the full cycle can too We can have a huge variety in cycle length from one cycle to another, and from person to person MYTH: Fertility awareness is just the rhythm method FACT: Fertility awareness, specifically the symptothermal method, relies on specific menstrual cycle observations like basal body temperature and cervical fluid The rhythm method relies only on past cycle information MYTH: Fertility awareness doesn’t work as birth control FACT: Scientific evidence shows the symptothermal method of fertility awareness to be up to 99.4% effective with perfect use and 98.2% effective with typical use* *According to a robust scientific study by Frank-Herrmann et al.

G’mar chativa Tova! . Yom Kippur (day of atonement) marks the end of the days of awe and likely the holiest day of the entire year. We wanted to celebrate it with the biggest activist and the physical embodiment of teshuvah — mom / @miriamhawleyobos 💪🏾 she co-founded the seminal @obostoday (go feminists!) and now, is our cheerleader for Palestinian freedom and rights. She joined us for Erev (Eve) Yom Kippur / Kol Nidre and I believe this is becoming a tradition of ours. This year, we collectively said as a family how our new temple @vahavtahboston has so much vigor and enthusiasm 🥰 . We say NO to Zionism desecrating our beautiful religion. We are not free till everyone is free! To our fellow Jews, may you have an easy and MEANINGFUL fast. To our fellow humans, may the holiest day of the year bring you peace. #yomKippur #bethechange #paradigmShift #growingCommunity #loveyourself
