At Nottingham Menopause Awareness (NMA), we understand that menopause can be a challenging time, and having a supportive community can make a significant difference. That’s why we’re excited to announce our Monthly Menopause Support Group Meetings, open to all employees and employers in Nottingham who wish to learn, share, and support one another.
Our support group meetings are designed to provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals to discuss their experiences, ask questions, and receive valuable advice and support. These meetings will take place on the first Wednesday of every month, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Nottingham Science & Technology Park, in the Heathcoat Building.
What to Expect
Each support group meeting will feature a combination of guided discussions, expert talks, and open forums. Here’s what you can look forward to at our monthly meetings:
Welcome and Introduction
We’ll start each meeting with a warm welcome and a brief introduction to the evening’s agenda. This will be a time to get to know new members and reconnect with regular attendees.
Expert Talks and Guest Speakers
Each month, we invite a guest speaker to share their expertise on a relevant topic. Our speakers include healthcare professionals, HR experts, and individuals with personal experiences of menopause. Topics will range from managing symptoms and mental health to understanding legal rights and workplace accommodations.
Guided Discussions
Following the expert talk, we’ll break into smaller groups for guided discussions. These sessions provide an opportunity for participants to share their experiences, ask questions, and offer support to one another. Our facilitators will guide the conversation, ensuring everyone has a chance to speak and be heard.
Open Forum
We’ll end each meeting with an open forum where participants can bring up any topics or concerns they wish to discuss. This is a great time to seek advice, share resources, and connect with others in the community.
