Schools workshops
We deliver friendly & accessible menstrual health and menopause awareness workshops to secondary schools.
Since September 2020, menstrual wellbeing has become an extended part of the national curriculum and is a statutory requirement for secondary schools.
Our up to date tools and insights help nurture resilience and confidence. We help teenagers to feel at ease with themselves, understand their bodies and know how and when to access healthcare, and overcome menstrual health adversities.
We provide a safe space led by independent facilitators to share experiences, gain knowledge and challenge misconceptions about periods and the menopause.
Why I founded
Period & Pause
Anna Price founded Period & Pause while raising her two teenage daughters. While recovering from surgical menopause she decided to realise her vision for open and honest conversations with girls, women and workplaces about periods, menopause, health and wellbeing.
Drawing from her lived experience of endometriosis, adenomyosis, polycystic ovaries and surgical menopause, Anna & her team deliver workplace awareness training and educational workshops in secondary schools and one to one sessions. Anna shares her knowledge and advice on how to deal with challenges and live well. She is passionate about women's health and is a qualified menopause workplace coach & member of the British Menopause Society.
It’s time to become part of the menstrual
health & menopause movement!
