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.

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.
Training Sessions
We are offering training sessions for men & menopause and menopause awareness.

We will be undertaking research with Peri Meri Menopause & Cancer, Early Onset Menopause (Young People) and men and menopause.

We are hosting several Menopause Wellbeing Marketplace events around the county to showcase the support that’s out there for those going through the menopause. Our aim is to hold at least one event in each district of Lincolnshire over the next few months.
Why are we delivering these marketplace events?
As part of the Peri Meri Menopause Moments Project, we offer support for those who are going through the menopause. We do this through a programme of support for individuals, by supporting employers and employees in the workplace and by working with organisations and individuals to provide alternative ways to support menopause holistically. These marketplaces are a way of showcasing what is already out there in terms of this support.
Who can attend the marketplaces?
Anyone is welcome to attend the marketplaces. They are free and there’s no need to register, just pop in at any time throughout the day to find information and support for menopause. You might be attending for yourself or someone you know who is finding menopause difficult. Even if you’re not menopausal, or even know anyone who is, this event my help you or others with health and wellbeing…so just pop along! The information on offer may support you, whether they’re experiencing menopause symptoms or not.
You may like to time your visit so you can attend the sessions we offer at specific times during the day. These sessions provide more in-depth information around subjects such as nutrition, managing anxiety and sleep. Sessions may vary for each marketplace.
Would you like to have a free table at the events?
If you are an individual or an organisation and you feel that what you offer could support menopause or wellbeing in general, then why not come along and showcase what you do at any or all the marketplaces. Attendance is dependent on the space at the venue and how many tables they can accommodate.
To register for a table, you can send an email to us at menoevents@every-one.org.uk or complete a short online form here
