Summary of the webinar:

75% of the teaching workforce in the UK is female, which means understanding menopause is vitally important to the education sector. According to the Menopause Charity, 10% of women leave the workforce as a result of the menopause.

In this 60 minute awareness workshop we will cover the stages, symptoms and routes to managing symptoms of menopause.  The session aims to normalise discussions around menopause, whilst at the same time not normalising any suffering. 

Through ongoing conversations such as these we can start to encourage a more menopause friendly environment, both at home and at work  – where women feel comfortable talking about how it is affecting them, without any shame or embarrassment, know where to go for advice and support, and others feel able to give that support.  

Webinar led by Arwen Web (Still Human)

Arwen is an educator and teacher with over 20 years’ experience in delivering a range of diverse content within secondary, FE and 1-2-1 environments. She has an in-depth knowledge of the personal and professional challenges faced by both teachers and pupils at all levels in the
demanding and rapidly changing environment of education. With a focus on health and wellbeing, a degree in Sociology and Masters in Criminological Research, Arwen has also completed a Complementary Therapy qualification with the NHS School of Natural Health. This has helped her to support and empower others in understanding what ‘selfcare’ means and be able to create practical strategies to form a healthy work-life balance. "As teachers we have a critical role - to nurture the next generation and support them in navigating this complex and challenging world and this starts with our own wellbeing and self regulation. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences in delivering the menopause workshop that support teachers in enriching their own development, creating space and balance in both their personal and working lives."
