Let's Talk Menopause Newsletter

Issue 1 - November 2021

---

Welcome to the first edition of the 'Let's talk menopause' newsletter.

There’s much more to Menopause than hot sweats and irregular periods and it doesn't just affect women in the later years of life. Early symptoms of the menopause are often mis-recognised and women seem to be suffering far longer than they need to.

There’s a lot to learn about the menopause and with 50% of the population hitting this stage at some point, Menopaus’ull wants to bring together relevant information, advice and support all into one place. The project is aiming to empower the women of Hull and the East Riding with the knowledge and confidence to make changes to enhance the quality of life at this time of their life.

Menopaus’ull Support Network has conducted a number of surveys asking women who live in Hull and the East Riding what they would like to see delivered in a non-medical support network, the team are now building a 12-month programme around the responses. 

Read on to find out the latest news, events and activities taking place over the next few months.
