Peri Meno Meet Up
Did you know?
Perimenopause symptoms can start as early as age 35, a time when women are often entering the peak of stressful times, parenting young children, climbing the career ladder, investing in property etc and yet many women don’t even know what perimenopause is.
45% of women feel their menopause symptoms have a negative impact on them in the workplace, with two thirds of women receiving no support from their employers.
In 2019 a study conducted by the CIPD found that almost 900,000 women in the U.K. left their jobs because of menopausal symptoms.
Menopause training for GP’s is not a mandatory part of the GP curriculum despite almost 13 million women in the UK currently being either perimenopausal or menopausal.
From the platform that brought you the acclaimed podcast The Capsule #inconversation and hosted by actor & The Capsule founder Natalie Anderson, we are delighted to be bringing to Leeds The Capsule ‘Peri-Meno Meet Up’, an exclusive evening focused on myth busting perimenopause and menopause. Featuring Q&A sessions with an expert panel alongside styling demos and shopping at our menopause marketplace we hope to provide a safe space for women to come together and have fun whilst breaking the stigma around this transitional phase of women’s health. An evening not to be missed, the ‘Peri Meno Meet Up’ aims to be Leeds’ biggest menopause focussed event.
