Workshops at Health Department

Hello Core Group,

This is a reminder about the Workshops this Thursday on transgender needs and STI’s. It would be really great if some members of the core group could attend this training. These workshops will be held from 1-5 this Thursday, August 18th at the Thurston County Health Department. If you are interested in attending or want any more information please call John or Joseph at 352-2375.

Erick Janson, MPH, the education coordinator at Verbena will be conducting a workshop on transgender needs with an emphasis on trans risks for STI’s and sexual health issues. Verbena’s mission is to build vibrant communities for lesbians, bisexual & queer women, and transgender individuals through health advocacy, education, support & access to care.

Bonnie Nickel, with the infectious disease and reproductive health office of the Department of Public Health will present on updates in knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases as well as a general STI overview. with the assumption that those in attendance will have a general STI knowledge. This will serve as an STI 202 to supplement the general STI knowledge many of us already have.


Our Community Advisory Board meeting is this Friday from 5:30 to 7:30. It would also be great if some people from the core group could attend this meeting. Once again, let us know if you are interested.
