Menopause Awareness
13 May: 9:30am to 11am
Menopause often coincides with significant career milestones and personal life events, yet many women still feel that discussing it is taboo. Symptoms can be confusing and overwhelming, and fear of embarrassment may prevent you from getting the support you need to build personal resilience. Any taboo loses its power when we begin to talk openly. Just as society is learning to discuss topics like race, gender, and generational differences, it's important to do the same with menopause.
A positive menopause experience is one that you actively manage. If you don’t manage menopause, it can end up managing you. By increasing your knowledge and understanding through our menopause awareness sessions and training workshops, you can gain valuable insights to help you personally and professionally.
