Colleagues in the Faculty of Humanities are invited to join the upcoming ‘Menopause and Men: Male Allyship in Action’ workshop, which will be held over Teams at 10.00-11.00 on Tuesday 16 April. The workshop aims to raise awareness of the menopause among men, but all members of the Faculty are invited and will no doubt find the session useful, regardless of gender.
The menopause is being talked about more than ever, gradually decreasing the stigma and highlighting that support is often vital for those whose symptoms are challenging. But what is also important is that men are a part of that conversation, as it indirectly impacts men as partners, colleagues, and friends. A little awareness goes a long way, and we will share why it’s more important than ever as part of being a good leader, teammate, and human to listen and make a difference for those directly impacted by menopause.
Delivered by Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace and Matt Balfour, founder of Let’s Go Wellbeing (Mental Health First Aid · Employee Engagement · Employee Wellness · Workplace Coaching).
