Schools & Youth Centre Workshops
We deliver friendly & accessible menstrual health and menopause awareness workshops to primary and 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 Children and 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.
