Menopause and Menstrual Health and Toolkit

We Care developed two training sessions bookable through Turas: Menopause Awareness in the Workplace and an additional session: Menopause Awareness in the Workplace - Male only Sessions | Turas | Learn (nhs.scot). The aim is to make people aware of the issues that women who go through the menopause can face, and how these can affect the way they work. The course is aimed at line managers, team leaders, supervisors, HR personnel and all other employees to find out how they can support women at work who go through this phase in their lives, and to women employees themselves, to make them aware of the fact that they can seek support if required.

Please note, due to capacity issues, at present these sessions are currently not being delivered however we will be reviewing this at a later stage and will update when sessions are available once again.
