April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) — a time to raise awareness, amplify survivor voices, and strengthen efforts to prevent sexual violence. This month, we had the honor of sitting with Elliot Gordon, the Outreach and Youth Advocacy Coordinator at Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) in Eugene to talk about SASS, how to set boundaries in relationships, and how youth can create safer spaces.

Women still face barriers to equality, and today’s youth are paying attention to what’s being done/not done about it.

Setting healthy boundaries is a fundamental aspect of personal growth and well-being. Boundaries help people protect their mental, emotional, and physical space, especially in today’s fast-paced world.

With the rise of new weight-loss medications mentioned in the media, youth need to be informed about their potential effects and the messages they send about body image. One of the primary things to center in their learning: all bodies are good bodies.

You’ve seen the ads on your devices and social media feeds. You’ve heard it creep into conversations with family after your second holiday treat: negative body talk.

All of the talk and opinions about body standards impact the mental and physical health of girls.
