Free Menopause Support Sessions
Menopause and You!
For All Health and Care Staff, including Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector Colleagues
We know that we face significant challenges around retention of our workforce, wellbeing and absence and menopause can be a very real factor in people opting to leave or reduce their hours in order to ‘cope’ with their symptoms. Around 900,00 people in the UK have left their jobs due to the Menopause. Changes in hormones during the menopause can effect both physical and mental health in many ways, symptoms can range from hot flushes, anxiety, depression and sadly in some instances suicide. We want to create the conditions to ensure that those working in Health and Care in West Yorkshire get the support they need.
At West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership, we are working together to support our workforce and raise awareness around menopause. Join one of our free sessions in 2023 which will be led by Menopause specialists to help you through your Menopause Journey or supporting someone who may be going through the Menopause.
