You are warmly invited to join Cassandra’s Centre for International Women’s Day 2026, for an informative and empowering session in line with this year's theme “Give to Gain.”

This session is relevant to all genders, whether you experience menopause yourself or support colleagues, friends, or family members who do. Building awareness helps create a more informed, empathetic, and supportive workplace for everyone.

Organisers are delighted to welcome Dr Zoe Schaedel, whose expertise will guide attendees through a comprehensive and insightful discussion. She will be covering topics including:

• What menopause is and how female hormones change
• Understanding perimenopause
• Physical, cognitive, and psychological symptoms
• Vulvovaginal and urinary symptoms
• Non-HRT symptom management, including lifestyle, diet, sleep, exercise, and supplements
• An introduction to HRT, including hormones and available products
• Sex, libido, and the role of testosterone
• Risks and benefits of HRT, including heart and bone health
• How to access support from your GP
• Menopause in the workplace and how to support colleagues

 The Cassandrea Centre hope you can join them for what promises to be a valuable and engaging session.
