Menopause and Mental Health

Thursday, March 26 at 12pm
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s period and reproductive years. Some women look forward to this change, while others do not. Most women, however, do not welcome the symptoms that come with menopause, particularly when it comes to their mental health. This session will unpack menopause and mental health, dispelling some of the myths and presenting the facts. This session will also include practical strategies for women entering this stage in life, as well as for their colleagues, managers and organizations wishing to understand more and provide support.
