Agile Rabbit: Making Menopause Matter 

Fifty percent of the world’s population who make it to middle age and beyond will experience menopause, but talking about it, understanding it, and knowing how to manage it are only gradually becoming more commonplace. So how can we have more open conversations about individuals’ experiences?

Mainstream narratives on the menopause often contain a dizzying report of weight gain, brain fog, joint pain, anxiety, depression, dry skin, and hot flashes. Dr. Tina Cartwright is joining us from the University of Westminster to chat about what perimenopause and menopause actually are and how they manifest in women differently.

Tina will talk about recognising your symptoms to help you ask for the right support – whether from your employer or your GP. We’ll also look at how exercise, CBT, yoga, and cold water swimming can support wellbeing during this time of transition.

Together, we will gather knowledge to help us change how we view and talk about the menopause.

The event is suitable for women of all ages, with men welcome too. Come along, make comments, ask questions, and share your experiences.
