Campus Conversations, an initiative of Talk About It Texas, is dedicated to supporting student success among older teens and young adults in higher education settings (2- and 4-year institutions) in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Rio Grande Valley by providing medically- accurate sexual health education, resources, and adolescent-friendly referrals to no/low-cost clinics. We are committed to preparing and equipping young adults with the information they need to protect their futures and make well-informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.

Since 2016, Campus Conversations teams have engaged over 43,000 young adults across Texas!

Let’s face it: navigating sex and relationships in college can be confusing. This workshop cuts through the noise with a 23-minute video covering the essentials—birth control options (including abstinence, condoms, and emergency contraception), STI and HIV prevention, and how to have those tough conversations. You’ll also learn how to talk with your doctor about your health. Plus, we’re handing out $15 gift cards just for watching. It’s a quick and easy way to boost your knowledge and take care of yourself—consider it an investment in your well-being.

 

Campus Conversations provides students with sexual and reproductive health education and resources, including:

Plan A

A 45-minute session offered virtually or in person. Students will watch a 23-minute video showcasing the lives of 3 young women and different relationship situations. They will then engage in a discussion to promote healthy reproductive health choices. 

Seventeen Days

1-hr interactive online program, most relatable for people who identify as female. Participants are presented with different scenarios involving decisions young women must make in relationships as it relates to birth control and STIs.

SHARP

A 3.5 – 4 hour single session offered in-person or virtually led by trained Health Educators. This interactive session increases knowledge within the following topics:  Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and HIV prevention and risk reduction, reproductive anatomy, contraceptive methods (including information about abstinence and Long-Acting Reversible Contraception) , healthy relationships, and goal setting.

 

Who Can Join?

 

To participate in any sexual health education programs, participants must be 18+. 14-17 year olds may participate with a signed, parental consent form.
