Reproductive health care and birth control options are usually considered to be the province of people who can get pregnant - and only of people who can get pregnant. But everyone, no matter their gender, should take charge of their reproductive health care.

Talk to your health care professional about the options that will work best for you!

Long-term birth control is one of the best ways to prevent unintended pregnancies.

They are safe and effective for most healthy individuals.

The best birth control method for you depends on many things, including:

Your health
Possible side effects
How comfortable you are with each one

Here’s a look at each method and how they work.

Remember to discuss your options with your health care professional, go over the pros and cons, and make an informed choice.

It’s harvest craft time! Come hang out at the Women’s Center on November 25 & 26. Enjoy some papercraft, coloring, and good company.

The SCSU Women’s Center would like to thank everyone who came out to our first STEMinism in Action conversation: INeedAnA.com - Using STEM Skills to Advance Reproductive Rights in Post-Roe America.

Becca Nall, founder and Executive Director , was inspirational and insightful, providing wisdom on everything from the nuts and bolts of starting and running a social justice nonprofit to addressing privacy issues around health care access and from how to use STEM skills to make the world a better place to planning for a chaotic future while working for the best possible outcome for all vulnerable people – no matter your area of passion!
