Health and Wellness Fair
April 24 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
The Cypress College Health Center is proud to bring to our campus community our annual Health and Wellness Fair on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. between Humanities and the Humanities Lecture Halls. This year’s theme is “Live Well” with an emphasis on whole-health and making healthy and informed choices. We have invited community partners to provide information and education on various health and wellness topics such as sexual assault prevention, HIV prevention, LGBTQ+ services, sexual/reproductive health, mental health, alcohol and substance abuse, and more. Additionally, we have invited Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) to provide our campus with 30-minute Naloxone Trainings throughout the duration of the Fair. Every half hour starting at 11:30 a.m., OCHCA will provide trainings and a free Naloxone Kit for every member in attendance, while supplies lasts. These trainings are happening in HUM-131.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), and we are delighted to share our continued commitment to honor SAAM, acknowledge victim/survivors experiences, and unite as a community to express our stance against sexual violence. We invite everyone on campus to wear teal throughout the month of April or wear teal ribbons to demonstrate support on campus. Through our continued partnership with Waymakers OC, we have invited the Clothesline Project to our Health and Wellness Fair to demonstrate their powerful and impactful clothesline made up of t-shirts that tell the stories of sexual assault survivors. Please join us to discuss education, advocacy, and awareness.
April 24 is also national Denim Day. Denim Day is a national social campaign, brought to you by Peace Over Violence, that celebrates its 25th anniversary this year in bringing awareness to affirmative consent and supporting survivors of sexual assault. Join millions of people across the world that will wear jeans with a purpose, support survivors, and educate themselves and others about all forms of sexual violence.
