NEW FOR 2025!
We’re excited to launch our new CPD-accredited in-person training designed to help you understand the impact of menopause in the workplace.
This engaging and informative session will introduce the latest research data, promote a clear understanding of the terminology, and provide valuable insights into the long-term effects of menopause if not addressed early enough.
You’ll also learn how to best support colleagues in all roles, including management. We’ll delve into policies and procedures to support menopausal women and identify good practice. By the end of this training, you’ll feel confident and empowered to create a supportive and inclusive workplace for all employees. Get ready to make a positive difference!
What will you learn?
By the end of the session, you will understand:
Who should attend?

Please note this training is aimed at voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and groups based in North Yorkshire or delivering services within North Yorkshire.
