The Menopause
Understanding menopause symptoms, self-care, and support strategies.
The menopause is a natural stage of life but one that is often misunderstood or overlooked. This workshop breaks down what menopause is, the symptoms it can bring, and how to care for physical and mental health during this time. We also share tips for supporting others going through menopause, so young people and staff are aware of those at home or in the workplace.
​
This workshop gives participants a clear, confident understanding of how the menstrual cycle works, and how it affects emotional wellbeing, physical performance, and daily life. We go beyond the biology to explore real-life impacts, cycle tracking, and self-care strategies.
​
This workshop is available as a session for young people, staff wellbeing session, or as a staff training session which enables staff to deliver the content themselves within their communities.
