Is your group looking for a simple way to bring awareness to your campus about pregnancy resources on and off campus? If so, tabling is just what you need! Tabling provides an opportunity for your group to educate your peers about resources for pregnant and parenting students or discuss the reality of unplanned pregnancy as a student. It’s a great time to talk to your peers about ideas for improving campus support, too. You can even make it interactive!
SFLA Resources to Request from your Regional Coordinator:
- “Pregnant on Campus” postcard
- “Pregnant? Need Help?” drop cards
- “Pregnant on Campus” tabletop display
- “Building a Better Future” training
