Menopause Awareness: Understanding Symptoms and Support

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but its effects can be complex and often misunderstood. Although it is commonly associated with hot flushes and changes to the menstrual cycle, menopause can also affect sleep, mood, memory, concentration, confidence and overall wellbeing.participation and, in the end, a real sense of community.

What is menopause?

Menopause is reached when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. The time leading up to this is known as perimenopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate and symptoms may develop.

Every experience is different. Some people notice only mild changes, while others experience symptoms that significantly affect their work, relationships and everyday life.
