A free talk about menopause, mental health and suicide prevention
Description
This session brings together menopause, mental health awareness and suicide prevention - three areas that profoundly shape staff wellbeing, confidence and organisational culture.
Participants will leave with:
- A clearer understanding of how menopause can influence mood, stress, communication and workplace confidence.
- Practical insight into how mental health and suicide prevention intersect with menopause-related challenges.
- Simple, safe approaches for supporting colleagues who may be struggling - without needing specialist training.
- Confidence to start conversations and signpost effectively, even when topics feel sensitive or uncertain.
- Perspectives from two experienced facilitators who work across mental health, menopause and workplace wellbeing.
This session is designed to give people useful awareness, language and confidence, not full competency - making it ideal for anyone who wants to strengthen wellbeing culture and better support colleagues.
