Certificate in menopause support – One-day CPD workshop
Poorly understood for far too long, the menopause disrupts hormone balance sending things out of sync. Working tirelessly in the background, hormones are misunderstood and underestimated. Hormones play a key in how we look, feel, think and behave and, when out of balance, life can feel overwhelming.
Shrouded in mystery and sometimes shame, peri-menopausal and menopausal women often carry on regardless, frequently suffering in silence until they run out of resilience often leaving work, not meeting friends feeling alone lost and exhausted.
The menopause transition can be a challenging experience. Many women simply do not understand what is happening to them thinking they are going mad. This is where well-being professionals can play a key supporting role.
This one-day workshop has been developed to provide well-being professionals with an overview of the physical and psychological issues of the menopause. We will explore various ways in which you can support your clients.
Subjects covered on the workshop include:
- What is menopause?
- When does menopause happen?
- What are the symptoms of menopause?
- What are the choices?
- How can menopause affect women?
- How can menopause affect work?
- How can menopause affect relationships?
- How can well-being professionals help?
- Menopause and beyond
- Menopause and self-care
Research has shown that therapy combined with visualisations, stress reduction and confidence-building significantly improve a woman’s experience of her menopause.
The workshop will guide you systematically through a unique ‘embrace programme’ and you will be able to equip your clients to let go of fear and anxiety.
The day includes information to support clients with diet, nutrition, well-being and lifestyle information. Scripts and intake forms to download and ways to encourage women to adapt to the changes naturally, efficiently and comfortably - to say “Yes, I am going to embrace my amazing life.”
The fact is menopause does happen to every woman. Clients can waste a lot of time in the mindset of “feeling sorry for myself because I’m menopausal”.
The aim of this workshop is to share how to focus energy on how to feel good again. To think of the menopause as a halfway point and all of the changes, not just the physical ones, will help shape the next 50 years of your client's life.
