In partnership with Peppy Health, an organisation offering personalised menopause support, the Law Society has launched a comprehensive menopause support resource to help individuals and organisations understand the topic and the impact it can have.
With over half of the legal profession being female, and a growing number of mid-life women remaining in their careers, it’s imperative we lift the stigma on the menopause, and all issues faced by women.
The resource covers suggestions to organisations on adjusting working environments, what actions and behaviours are discriminatory and how to curate a supportive and inclusive culture.
It also offers advice to all women, both currently experiencing the menopause and those that wish to be prepared and involved in paving the way for their generation.
About the event
This free virtual event will be celebrating the release of this document, and Menopause Awareness Month.
Joining us will be a number of speakers sharing best practice, their personal experiences and what the landscape looks like for women within the working world.
Please note that this event will be recorded.
