EDI event: supporting people to thrive through menopause
What is the menopause and how can we support staff and students experiencing it?
It is estimated that there are around 13 million people who are currently peri- or menopausal in the UK (Wellbeing of Women) which is equivalent to a third of the entire UK female population. So the chances are if you’re not experiencing menopause yourself, you might know or work with someone who is. Join our expert speaker Dr Shema Tariq in this online event exploring what menopause is, how it impacts work and strategies for supporting colleagues and students.
This event is open to everyone at UCL.
