Guest speaker: School life and the menopause

Course overview

Many people find it difficult to deal with the symptoms of the menopause while working in a school. In this 2-hour webinar designed for early years, primary and secondary school staff, former teacher, coach and author, Amy Sayer, shines a light on the challenges and suggests tried-and-tested ways to navigate them. Drawing on case studies from her years of experience supporting staff in education, she openly shares ways to help ensure that self-care during the menopause doesn’t slip under the radar in the face of increasing pressure and limited resources.

In association with Thrive, Amy’s webinar will help you to establish a school ethos which destigmatizes conversations about the impact of the menopause on teachers and education staff. And provide you with the insight you need to ensure that you are looking after your needs in the best way possible during the busy school year.
