Embracing the Menopause event

A survey by market researcher company Ipsos MORI found that “50% of women had confirmed that menopause impacted negatively on their home life”. Whilst “34% of women said that they had developed (menopause-related) depression and anxiety.”

Bearing in mind that half of the population is female, these numbers are alarmingly high.

As the leading wellbeing charity in the county, Northamptonshire Sport recognises the need for support around menopause, so we’ve partnered with experts in the subject to spend a day embracing menopause but also debunking the many myths surrounding it. The event will also support women to take control of how they manage their health going forward.

If you’d like more knowledge around menopause, please join us at this special event on the 29^th of April at Castle Ashby, Northamptonshire. Here’s a bit more about the day and the experts leading the sessions:
