Present at various Pink October events, the professionals of the Sexual Health Centers (CSS), although they communicate about their change of name, are above all mobilized to publicize their professions, their missions and the services they offer to users, like Aspasie TEVI, marriage and family counselor, presents the 1is October in Marles-les-Mines:
« Sexual health centers are involved in everyday health, so for us, Pink October is an opportunity to make the support we offer to women known as widely as possible. We are often confused with family planning, particularly because we also work a lot on the prevention aspect, but with us, women can also make an appointment directly with a midwife, a doctor or a marriage and family counselor. Free of charge. Even for people who are not affiliated to social security! And also anonymously, which is particularly important for minors.
And what we also little know is that beyond the purely medical aspect which can encourage people to come and see us, we are also a place to listen. So it is possible to be interested in relationships, in emotions, because our status allows us to spend time with the people who come to see us. »
