Menopause awareness for diverse communities

Course overview

Duration: 90 minutes

Delivery format: Face to face

Audience: Those who are experiencing symptoms of the menopause and are part of the black, asian, and minority ethnic communities. 

Why should I attend this course?

We’re reaching out to people from ethnic minority communities across Greater Manchester. We attend your community space, where you feel safer and most comfortable, and deliver a session where we focus on listening, sharing and discussing our personal experiences, as well as our Top 10 Tips for surviving and thriving through menopause – taken directly from women who have attended our sessions and have first hand experience. Each session is delivered in English, Urdu and Punjabi and our resources are also multilingual. Know of a women’s community group who would find our awareness sessions useful? Get in touch today!
