Menopause Awareness

Celebrating World Menopause Day and Menopause Awareness Month 2023

October is World Menopause Month, and October 18th celebrated as World Menopause Awareness Day, with the focus this year on cardiovascular health. Established in 2009 by the International Menopause Society in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), World Menopause Month aims to raise awareness of the menopause and the possible associated health issues, whilst promoting support options available to improve the health and wellbeing of those navigating the menopause transition.

To show our support to colleagues experiencing menopause, Healthwatch Sandwell, delivered by Engaging Communities Solutions (ECS), is a signatory of the Workplace Menopause pledge.
