Making in Menopause

Making in Menopause is a workshop kit that addresses the need for a greater support system to be available for women in menopause
Caring SocietyMental HealthCommunitiesInclusivity

Welcome to the Making in Menopause Workshop! A proposed rolling weekly workshop kit by, and centred around women. Addressing the inadequate support system in place for women in menopause, we explored ways in which we could form a framework to educate and empower a community through the means of a combined book club and collage-making club- a kit to create and conversate. There is a freedom and accessibility in collage and richness in reading, that works for the kit which aims to spark conversations and create a safe and honest space for women of all ages to discuss their experiences of menopause, the stigma manifesting as a lack of knowledge, lack of care, and lack of tools that discourage empathy and understanding for the symptoms and experiences women go through when they reach menopause.
