Information. Awareness. Understanding.

I hour all-staff presentation including questions and discussion

What is menopause? What happens to our bodies as we go through perimenopause into post-menopause? What assumptions do we make about menopause? What are the specific challenges in schools? How can we address them? Why do so many of us find it hard to talk about menopause? How can we help each other talk about it?  How can we help ourselves? How can we support our colleagues? Are there ways in which the school can help?

 

Questions can be e-mailed in advance of the session and discussed anonymously if preferred.

 

A handout with key information and advice from the presentation will be provided to the school after the session. This can be customized to reflect the concerns of the staff present.
