Hot damn!
Becoming a menopause friendly school so everyone feels supported
A conference keynote, an INSET day or a cheeky twilight? All sessions can be adapted to suit the audience, the themes that are important to your school and the length of time we've got.
Did you know 75% of teachers identify as female?
We’re sure you probably had an inkling…
But here’s something you probably didn’t know. A quarter of people going through menopause have considered leaving teaching. And those that stick with it can find the demands of the job even tougher when menopausal symptoms strike.
Some people can find it uncomfortable to talk about. However it impacts everyone and at Laughology, we believe knowledge is power.
We've been delivering Menopause workshops for the last seven years. Through feedback and expertise, it's helped us build an understanding of what helps and hinders people going through menopause and what can be done to support them better.
The great news is that ‘Hot Damn!’ can be delivered as a keynote, an INSET workshop or a twilight. Yes, it’s that flexible - clearly it’s been on the calcium tablets and HRT!
Here’s what you can expect
- An opportunity to start the menopause debate in an open, engaging, non-threatening and fun way
- Myth busting about the perimenopause and menopause
- Identifying symptoms, including those that can be especially tricky for teachers: hot flushes, anxiety, brain fog and flooding
- Ways that people can help themselves and others
What you’ll get by the end
- People who are more comfortable and open to conversations about the menopause
- Strategies to cope with the menopause
- An understanding of the positive impact of humour and laughter, for topping up your hormones
- A shared understanding of why some people like the classroom windows to be left open – and why you REALLY shouldn’t close them!
Just wanted to say thanks very much for our menopause session today. Sarah was absolutely brilliant - just got exactly the right balance of information, matter of factness and humour. Feedback from staff was really positive, including an email which simply said:
WOW, Dolly.... the staff meeting was BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for organising it!
I will definitely recommend your company.
Thanks very much
