This message from the school nurse at Fairmont Junior HS in Boise to our partners at Days for Girls Boise Southwest ID Team is a lot like the ones we receive from other school partners. It turns out that when you simply offer easily accessible (free) pads and tampons in school bathrooms, and let students know they are valued, they behave respectfully. Oh, and they can learn more easily when they aren't worried about leaking through their clothes. Not really that complicated. Will you give your local school a call and make sure they have products available for students? Together we can #endperiodpoverty! #education #pads #tampons #menstrualhealth (fb)

We admit it, when students first walk into our workshops they... seem a little nervous. 😬😳 But we know just the thing to put them at ease, crack them up, open them up to sharing and learning. And because we like you we're gonna give you our secret. ⬇ 🦄🪄✨Yeah, there's no magic here. What we do is... just a little magical.💫 We create space for a conversation that values every person in our class as an individual, but who is also part of something much larger than themselves. Menstruation is unique for each person but also something we all share. Knowing: 1. What to expect... 2. What is generally "typical"... 3. That everyone around you is also dealing with it... are all key in our fight to #endperiodstigma and #endperiodpoverty Read more about our workshops on our website, link in bio! Q: What would you say to another student about joining an upcoming workshop? A: I would say “it’s ok to be shy but just know this is a safe learning space.” #ghgpworkshops #endperiodstigma #education #menstruation #periods (fb)
