Benefits of Joining a Menopause Support Group

- Information Sharing: Our support group sessions include educational resources and expert speakers who can provide valuable insights into managing menopausal symptoms and improving overall well-being.
- Community Connection: Building connections with other women going through menopause can help you feel less isolated and more understood. You can share tips, advice, and experiences with like-minded individuals.
- Empowerment: By participating in a support group, you can gain a sense of empowerment and control over your menopausal journey. You will learn coping strategies, self-care practices, and ways to advocate for your health needs.

The Feeling Good App contains the evidence-based audio programme Feeling Good for Life, which is the new name for Positive Mental Training, a series of 12 audio tracks to help you build essential skills, not only to deal with mental stresses and strains, but to bounce forwards and become mentally stronger and more resilient.
