Understanding Menopause, Together
Small insights that make a big difference to wellbeing. Menopause is far more than a physical transition; it can deeply affect mental health, confidence and day‑to‑day life. With 70% of people experiencing mental health symptoms during menopause, yet only 20% receiving workplace support (British Menopause Society, 2024), it’s clear that awareness and understanding matter more than ever.
In this session, Ruth and Simon unpack the often‑overlooked connection between hormonal changes and emotional wellbeing. You’ll gain practical insight into what this stage of life can feel like, why it impacts mood and identity and how to recognise the signs in yourself or someone you care about.
They’ll also share meaningful, compassionate ways to support a colleague, partner or friend, helping you build confidence in conversations that many people still find difficult to start.
Expect honest stories, expert guidance and the chance to rethink how we talk about menopause in everyday life.
Knowledge is power. Join Ruth and Simon to understand and support yourself and others.
