Menopause

Menopause is not a new issue but one that can silently affect women in the workplace. Stigma remains and it can be a difficult topic to discuss with colleagues and managers.

But things are changing.

The Cross-Government Menopause Network has been set up to break the menopause taboo in the Civil Service.

And the Civil Service has signed the Menopause Workplace Pledge.

Sue, who joined these webinars, told us:

This was my first time joining any of the Charity’s sessions, and they were some of the most informative events I’ve ever attended. The speakers were excellent, and the Q&A was handled brilliantly. I learnt so much about menopause, gained clarity on some of my own symptoms, and discovered practical steps I can take to improve my wellbeing.

After attending the menopause sessions, I have finally plucked up the courage to book an appointment with my GP. I’ve realised I shouldn’t just be putting up with my symptoms, and there are things available that can help. I feel equipped with knowledge and understanding that I didn’t have before.
