Setting and communicating boundaries is an important aspect of every healthy relationship! Remember, you are not responsible for how others respond to those boundaries. Your needs are your own and they deserve to be respected 🤍

Happy National French Fry Day 🍟🤤

We love F.R.I.E.S. at ACT. It's our favorite acronym used to explain consent!

Condoms should be stored at (or just below) room temperature and out of direct sunlight, so keep them out of your car this summer! Instead, try storing them in a cool, dry space such as a bedroom nightstand or dresser drawer 🗄️

[ACT Program @ACT_Program]

July is #UVSafetyAwareness month; the perfect opportunity to remind you that #UVProtection isn't just for your skin and eyes ☀️👀

It's for your sexual health too! Condoms can become ineffective when exposed to extreme heat and/or direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

Today is World Day of Music!🎵

Music has been found to help reduce pain, relieve stress, and even improve memory. So, what will you be listening to today?

[ACT Program @ACT_Program]

So whether you're at work or enjoying your first Juneteenth off, take some time to reflect: Recognize the progress that has been made and the work that's still left to be done.

Today is Juneteenth!!🎉 For over 150 years, June 19th has commemorated the end of slavery in the United States.

Why June 19th?

#Emancipation didn't happen overnight. Even with the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, it would be years before many enslaved people were set free.

[ACT Program @ACT_Program]

Celebrations continued yearly on this day and 𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 in 1980, Juneteenth was observed for the first time as an official Texas state holiday. Almost all other states have since followed and 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 New York joins them.
