Menopause In Schools Survivors Club

(12 hours group menopause mentoring for 4-12 women)

£1600

An opportunity for a group of women to come to a better understanding of what is going on with their bodies and brains and what their options are; to learn how to get the best out of their doctors and the support available to them; to understand how the menopause may be impacting on their work, relationships and families and to create strategies to minimise that impact; specifically to look at how they can solve the problems which arise through menopause and perimenopause in a school environment; and to support each other as they work through the challenges of menopause and adjust to its changes.

This is an in-depth experience leading to long term strategies for managing perimenopause and menopause and supporting the group through long-lasting actions which improve health and well-being.

It takes place over several months, with meetings happening face to face or online. The usual is eight 90-minute sessions, but other arrangements are possible.

Plot a Path through the Menopause Maze

75-90 minute 1:1 Menopause Mentoring Session

£160

An opportunity for teachers who are struggling with menopause or perimenopause to create a plan to move forward. The precise subject matter of the session will vary depending on how peri/menopause is being experienced, but we are likely to discuss symptoms, the options for medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and techniques to manage menopause in schools. We may also explore how we perceive the menopausal transition and what stops us making the changes that help us deal with it. This session can also be used for preparations for discussions with Senior Leadership, Human Resources or Occupational Health as to the accommodations the school might make to enable the teacher to continue in their role effectively and healthily.
