Menstruation and menstrual health can have an effect on us all, whether someone is experiencing symptoms relating to their menstrual health directly or supporting a family member, friend or colleague.

While some don’t experience significant symptoms, many manage symptoms and menstruation-related health conditions alone. Research also shows that the majority of those experiencing menstruation or menstrual health conditions feel unable to discuss this with their managers or ask for any support they may need.

We’re passionate about the wellbeing of our colleagues and that means helping everyone to talk about menstruation and menstrual health openly, so please join this webinar ‘Let’s talk about menstruation’.

In this educational and engaging session, we’ll help you understand: 

  • Why we need to be talking about menstruation and menstrual health and how we talk positively about this at work
  • What menstruation is and associated health conditions
  • A “typical” menstrual cycle, it’s associated symptoms and the impact they may have, especially at work
  • The different menstrual health conditions that could be impacting at work including endometriosis, adenomyosis, PMOS, fibroids and PMDD
  • Different approaches to managing symptoms and where to access relevant information
  • How to get the support you need from: your GP/healthcare practitioner, your workplace, your friends and family
  • Specific support available through Community TU
  • The role of trade union representatives and other supporters in helping someone prepare for conversations around menstruation and menstrual health
