World Menopause Day is held every year on the 18th October.

This year’s theme is Cognition and Mood.

Designated by the International Menopause Society (IMS) this day is held to raise awareness of the menopause and to support options to improve health and well-being for women in mid-life and beyond.

A couple of weeks ago at Create Solutions Ltd we held our fourth free Wellbeing Session for clients; Deirdre Tattersall was our host and the title was “Finding Me in Menopause”.

The session was well attended and a perfect opportunity for everyone to learn and understand more about how menopause can be such a difficult time for so many women in so many different ways.  The event recording is available for clients in our Compliance Stockroom.

During the session Deirdre took us through the symptoms of menopause and many ideas on how to help yourself, employees, colleagues, friends or family members etc..

So finally, Menopause is a subject that is slowly becoming less taboo. Talking about it is good!

If you want to celebrate World menopause day or raise awareness the IMS suggests the following:

* Download the official resources. The International Menopause Society releases official resources for World Menopause Day every year, including: …
* Plan training sessions and events. …
* Talk openly about the menopause. …
* Share impactful guides.

Keep an eye out for our future Wellbeing Sessions; next up is Understanding Dependency and Addiction – 21st November 2022 (12 noon- 1.15pm)

You may want to incorporate these sessions into your overarching staff wellbeing strategy and invite your staff to attend (they are held at lunch time)
