This online session lasts 90 minutes

The menopause happens to women as they age. This is usually between 45 and 55 years of age, and it happens because of a reduction in the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. Some women have mild symptoms, but for many this will have a severe effect on their health and wellbeing, as well as having a negative impact on their home and work lives. There are many approaches and interventions that could support women to thrive during the menopause, and some of these are relevant to the workplace.
