April is PMDD Awareness Month 💛

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder can cause intense emotional and physical symptoms, linked to the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. PMDD can impact daily life, relationships and mental health.

PMDD is often misunderstood or labelled as "bad PMS". However the more we talk, the more awareness we raise and tackle stigma.

On Wednesday December 3rd 2025, we are bringing in an expert to our Culloden and Smithton Youth Club to chat about healthy friendships and relationships.

The expert works for a local charity and has run workshops on these topics in schools and youth settings across the Highlands.

We have set up this session in response to your young people’s request for someone to come in and speak to them about friendship and relationship issues, and the expert will facilitate discussions based on the questions the group has asked, including: healthy communication, building trust, respecting boundaries, consent, and spotting the signs of unhealthy or abusive behaviour.

This session is for young people in the Culloden ASG and to come along to the session they have to return a parental consent form to Lexie Mackay, Culloden Youth Development Officer.

If parents or young people want to more information on the upcoming session, they can call Lexie MacKay on 07774 337742 or email [email protected]
