September is Sexual Health Awareness Month!

Sexual Health Awareness Month

September is Sexual Health Awareness Month, and it’s a great opportunity to highlight the importance of sexual health as a vital component of a person’s overall well-being. As a medical library, our goal is to provide our patrons—including students, researchers, and clinicians—with access to evidence-based resources that can inform their work and research.

Sexual health is a multifaceted topic, encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It is crucial to have a professional and informed approach to the topic, which can be achieved through reliable, evidence-based public health resources.

For those interested in research or for your own education, the TMC Library offers access to a wealth of resources through our databases. You can also consult publicly available resources from organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and academic institutions that provide comprehensive and unbiased information. We encourage you to use these resources to foster a healthy, informed approach to your own lives and to your professional work.
