Peri Meri Menopause Moments Project

Peri Meri Menopause Moments Programme

Come along and join the programme and see how we can help you, but also help yourself with hints and tips about your menopause journey.

Are you struggling with your menopause? Whether you are perimenopausal, menopausal or post-menopausal, have a look at our programme overview; this might just be what could help you through the “fog” ahhh yes, the brain fog!

We will be running the following programme in various locations across Lincolnshire throughout the year. It is a five-week programme, two-hour sessions delivered weekly, covering a variety of topics.

The programme is delivered over a 5 week period and each session is approximately 2 hours. We will be organising the programme to take place within the various districts across Lincolnshire, which will enable you to select the most suitable time and place near you.

Week 1 – Peri Meri Introductions and Symptoms

In this session, we have an introduction around the project, who is there, where are the facilities and all the necessary stuff – where are the loos! We will also start to explore symptoms and what these are and how they affect you and those around you!

Week 2 – Symptoms and Mental Health

In this session we review what your symptoms were last time and how they affected you. We then look at the mental health implications, what the most common mental health issues raised through menopause are, how to recognise them and where across the county you can access support.

Week 3 – Medications

In this session, which is delivered by a health professional with a focus on menopause, we explore what are the hormones that affect us during menopause, how different medications can support and suppress some symptoms and what other options are available. We also look at HRT and any associated risks with comparisons and other symptoms such as bladder weakness.

Week 4 – Health, Wellbeing & Holistic Therapies

The main aim of this session is to identify the various ways that you could support your menopause journey. We will be inviting various providers and practitioners who are experts in their fields, varying from large organisations that offer support across the county, to local practitioners that can all support you with a wide range of things, from mental health, gut health, herbal, diet, exercise, mindfulness, reflexology, menopause yoga, tapping, informing you about support available that can help you through your menopause journey (the range of providers attending will be per district and per programme as we aim to get local providers, as well as across county).

Week 5 – What Next?

In our week 5 session we will look back at the previous four weeks. We will work through what you would like to have more of and identify what you would like to do for the future, by completing your own action plan and considering what you would like to do after the programme. This information will also inform the extra sessions that will be delivered by providers in the future. You will also hear about any additional support that is available around menopause and mental health.

Future Programmes

Programmes are coming up in North Kesteven and East Lindsey soon. Watch this space for further details!

Support for Employers

We are very excited to confirm that as part of the project, we are seeking to support employers and employees within the workplace. How we do this will be decided by you, the employer/employee and will be instrumental around the knowledge and development of menopause support and awareness.

Would you like to get involved?

Are you an organisation or a self-employed trained professional that offers services or provision that is beneficial to menopausal support? Do you run peer support or have funded provision that is supporting menopause already? If so, would you be keen to help support and get involved on the Peri Meri Project? We are looking for organisations or individuals across the county that can support us to support those on their menopausal journey.
