Menopause Mentors Training

Our Health Improvement Team deliver “Menopause Mentors” training in partnership with the Health & Work Team.

This four-hour session will support participants to become a mentor within their workplace/organisation, giving them knowledge and resources to share with their teams. This training is aimed at non-specialist workers and will cover an overview of the menopause and the impact it has on people’s lives.

This will look at informal ways of sharing information and resources within a group. We are currently running sessions and maintaining a waitlist while we train more participants, after which the sessions will be advertised more publicly.

You can find out more about upcoming sessions in the ‘events’ section of our Padlet HERE
