Menopause forums :: YourSpace Mersey Care

🌿 Looking for a relaxed space to talk about your menopause experience?

We want to support colleagues through every stage of menopause and help teams better understand how to support one another. Menopause is a natural part of life for anyone assigned female at birth, often happening during our working years and everyone experiences it differently.

💬 What is the Menopause Forum?

Our forum offers a confidential, supportive space where colleagues experiencing peri‑menopause, menopause or post‑menopause symptoms can:

Share their journey with others who understand
Feel less alone and more supported
Access reliable, evidence‑based resources

These sessions complement our menopause sessions and Menopause Champions programme.

👩‍⚕️ Who will be there?

Each session is facilitated by one of our female Health and Wellbeing Facilitators from Occupational Health and Wellbeing Services.

We’re also pleased to share that one of our Occupational Health and Wellbeing Lead Nurses will be joining us at each forum to offer guidance on how Mersey Care can better support colleagues experiencing menopause.

Please note: they won’t be able to provide personal medical advice.

Try the below steps...

You should be proactive in researching your own symptoms. Some steps which you can take to help yourself:

Maintain a healthy weight, with a balanced diet, eating regularly.
Exercise regularly to maintain fitness and aerobic capacity and to ensure that weight bearing exercise is carried out to maintain bone density.
Wear layered clothing that can easily be removed.
Ensure you are getting enough sleep
Discuss concerns with partners and encourage them to help with chores around the house.
Consult with their GP on management of the menopause and to rule out other medical causes of symptoms.
Speak to our Occupational Health and Wellbeing Department or a trusted supervisor about your symptoms.
Drink plenty of water; keeping caffeine intake low and alcohol consumption at or below the recommended levels (no more than 14 units per week).
Quit smoking.
