Practical menopause support for veterinary teams
Following the Veterinary Woman Menopause Report 2020, the need became apparent for veterinary-specific awareness and interventions to support veterinary team members impacted by perimenopause symptoms in the workplace and beyond. Working with content experts, WellVet has collated free access support resources across three areas – the pillars of healthy lifestyle; movement, meditation and breath work; and the neuropsychology of hormones. These resources are geared to individuals impacted by directly, but also for leaders, colleagues, partners, family members and friends to provide advice on how they can best provide support. In this session, Liz will provide an overview of these resources and how to practically apply them in workplaces and beyond, to ensure team members feel supported and stay thriving in the workplace. Many of these principles also apply to other hormonal and chronic health conditions and will be applicable for all of us at some point in our careers.
Learning Outcomes
- Awareness of the menopause and understanding of the impacts.
- Understanding what support can help individuals impacted by perimenopause symptoms in the workplace.
