Winona State is the only college campus in Minnesota that has a Bedsider program, according to Shawnessy Mohawk, Health promotion graduate student and the Bedsider campus representative.
When I asked her how Bedsider came to Winona, she told me about the Sexual Health and Awareness Group that operates on campus. SHAG works in concordance with Winona State Health and Wellness Services and Semcac Clinic to promote sexual health through awareness and education. SHAG thought Bedsider would be a great addition to their contraceptive outreach to students. Bedsider will be launched at 3 p.m. Nov. 6, 2013 for Wellness Wednesday in the Integrated Wellness Center. There will be a plethora of information on contraceptives that fit individual lifestyles as well as a variety of free items including t-shirts, posters, iPhone cases, and more. Mohawk says the goal of Bedsider in Winona best: “Our goal is to be a useful resource where people can learn about their birth control options, better manage their birth control, and in the process, avoid getting pregnant until they’re ready, both financially and emotionally.” Bedsider Winona State University is here to help you get on top of your sex life. It is chock-full of useful information about relationships, sex, and protection. It lays out your options, shares fun facts, and offers funny texts to remind you to take your birth control. It is totally free and constantly updated. Feeling curious? That’s the idea.
