Report, 2021
Sexting, the sending and receiving of sexual messages through technological devices like cell phones, is on the rise among youth. While there are debates about whether sexting is a normal form of sexual expression or a risky behaviour, education and support around sexting may help reduce negative consequences associated with sexting for youth. This report shares information about current, evidence-based, online resources focused on sexting and its impacts on youth. The information gathered through this environmental scan may be helpful to parents/guardians, youth, and educators seeking materials to educate themselves or the youth in their lives about sexting.

HIV and Pediatric Treatment and Care in Saskatchewan
Report, 2012
This report focuses on the needs of children who have contracted HIV from mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT). Care and treatment needs are likely to be similar between individuals infected through MTCT and behaviourally infected individuals; however, behaviours, adherence rates, and outcomes may be different due to lifestyle, upbringing, and age of infection. This literature review seeks to address the need for this information by providing an overview of the diagnosis, treatment, care, and support needs of infants through early childhood (birth to age 6). The audience for this report includes health professionals, caregivers, and other adults who may come into contact with children infected with HIV.
