When in Menopause...

We often think of activism as a "choose your own adventure story" - one in which everyone has a skill to contribute, a role to play - and that is exponentially so for menopause. Six thousand women enter menopause every day - more than two million yearly, and every single one has been underserved by the medical, scientific, and political machines that affect her healthcare. With this essential advocacy guide, navigate menopause with your loved ones and advocate for yourself in the doctor's office. You are your own best champion, and with basic how-to advice and menopause education, you can take charge of your own health. Next, we take menopause advocacy one step further. Learn how to make menopause discussions and resources a priority in your local social networks. In PTAs and parenting groups, raise awareness and host events with expert providers. In the workplace, rally your community for menopause benefits and accommodations. Lastly, we focus on public policy. "Menopause is not just having a moment... it is fuelling a movement" ... so trumpet near daily headlines, best-selling books, and social media accounts with massive followings. But how can you get involved and approach local, state, and federal bodies to really enact change for the better?
