The stigma associated with menopause continues to be pervasive and harmful for many women. The misinformation and shame associated with menopause often discourages open discussion, limits education, and results in inadequate opportunities for meaningful support and care. As a result, many women suffer in silence.  Both the silence and suffering are unacceptable.

The good news? There is life beyond stigma. This Longwoods Leadership Discussion assembles a panel of experts who are focused on elevating the voices of women experiencing menopause to provide clear, actionable strategies healthcare providers, policy makers, employers and other allies can use to help ensure women are empowered to ask for and receive the support they need from their personal and professional networks.

The discussion will include personal sharing along with recommendations drawn from the panelists’ individual experience and expertise. The time is now to tackle the stigma associated with menopause and help eliminate both the silence and the suffering of Canadian women.
