Let's check in, folks!

If you go through this list and find that you're in need of some self-care, know that all of us at GRPC are here and ready to remind you that you are worthy of being taken care of. You are worthy of water, you are worthy of food, and you are worthy of love and connection.

You're also worthy of being safe, and that includes in your partnerships and encounters. If a free, confidential test is on your self-care to-do list, stop by the Pride Center on Thursday, September 28 from 4:30pm to 6:30pm! Walk-ins are available, but appointments are preferred and can be made at https://bit.ly/grpc-sti-testing.

[Image Description: The image is centered on a pale yellow and white rectangular text box with five white horizontal bars with colorful checkboxes, which is designed to look loosely like a manilla folder. The background is a two-toned pale blue gradient, with thin pink swirls at the top left and bottom right corners. The top of the 'folder' reads "When is the last time you..." followed by "Drank a glass of water? Had something to eat? Checked in with a loved one? Took a screen break? Got tested for STIs and HIV?" each in their own horizontal box. The first four checkboxes, colored in magenta, cyan, yellow, and coral respectively, each contain a check, but the fifth, colored in green, has a question mark instead.]

Our next Health Equity in Action event is coming up next week Thursday, September 28 from 5:30-7:30pm. As usual, it will dovetail with KCHD being with us to provide STI testing 4:30-6:30pm also (you can call to get an appt & walk-ins are also accepted.)

This month's event focuses on disability services, and our partners are @artsinmotionwm and @disabadvocates and representatives will be on hand to discuss their services and the support they offer. Dinner will be served, and Fern the Pug will be on hand for anyone needing some support/cuddles. Please join us, especially if you are looking for ways to meet more 2-SLGBTQ+ folks in the community and connect with others. We'd love to have you.

If you have any questions, please call us at (616) 458-3511 or email the Health Equity team at health@grpride.org.

Partner agencies will Arts in Motion (AIM) & Disability Advocates of Kent County (DAKC) to talk about the services they offer & how they can support you." Below this on what looks like a tiled dance floor of pink and blue is text that says, "Thursday, September 28 5:30-7:30 pm @ GRPC 343 Atlas SE - Dinner provided

Image Description: Text on a pink background says, "GRPC is closed until Monday due to staff illness. We apologize for the inconvenience. Groups are still meeting afterhours. QTPOC da Block is still happening on Saturday!" The text is framed by green vines & leaves on which there are yellow and blue flowers with small smiling faces.

The rainbow text is right; getting tested is necessary for your (and any potential partners') safety! It is also a profound act of self-care and community care!

In case you haven't yet, you can get your STI and HIV test for FREE, next Thursday here at the Pride Center!

Both walk-ins and appointment slots are available from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, but only appointments can be guaranteed.

To book your appointment, you can:

- Book directly online at https://bit.ly/grpc-sti-testing
- Call the Pride Center at (616) 458-3511
- Email the Health Equity Team at health@grpride.org
- Or, stop by in-person and tour our space while you're here!

[Image Description: The phrase "getting tested is necessary" repeats 13 times in a vertical stack, with each line of text in a different color. The colors form a rainbow, fading from light blue at the top to mid-blue, pink, purple, and red by the mid-image. Then, the colors progress from red to orange, yellow, light green, and mid-green before returning to blue again. The background is plain black.]
