Neurodivergence & The Menopause in the Workplace
📅 Wednesday 21 October 2026
🕛 7pm - 9pm
👥 In person - St James, Northampton
Overview
Menopause and perimenopause can significantly impact cognitive functioning, emotional regulation,
sensory processing, and energy levels. For employees — including those who are autistic, ADHD,
dyslexic, dyspraxic or otherwise neurodivergent — these changes can intensify existing traits or lead to
new challenges at work.
This session provides practical, affirming and neurodiversity informed guidance to help employees
understand what may be happening, reduce shame, and develop workplace strategies that support
wellbeing and performance.
The session is trauma-informed, inclusive and grounded in lived experience as well as current research.
Aims
• Understand how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can impact executive function, memory, sensory processing and emotional regulation
• Recognise how menopause may amplify neurodivergent traits
• Reduce self-blame and internalised stigma
• Identify practical, low-cost workplace adjustments that may help
• 2-Hour Interactive Training for Employees
• Leave with practical self-regulation and energy management tools
