What if we had better tools for recognizing how perimenopause and menopause can affect mental health—and supporting ourselves and our clients through it?

Perimenopause and menopause are often misunderstood, misattributed, or left out of the mental health conversation. For social workers, understanding these transitions can mean better assessment, better conversations, and more informed support.

Join us November 5 for:

Perimenopause and Menopause: Untangling Myth, Meaning, and Mental Health

📅 Thursday, November 5, 2026
🕘 9 a.m.–12 p.m. CT | Zoom
🎓 3 Clinical CEUs
👤 Magen Price, FNP-BC, MSCP, CSC

This 3-hour clinical training explores the intersection of midlife hormonal transitions with:

• Mood, anxiety, and cognition
• Trauma, identity, and relationships
• Role strain and cultural expectations around aging
• Symptoms that may mimic or exacerbate psychiatric conditions

You’ll gain practical tools for recognizing menopausal-related symptoms, reducing stigma, validating clients’ experiences, and taking a biopsychosocial approach to midlife change.

Registration:
NASW Member: $60
Student/Retired Member: $45
Not-Yet-Member: $90

If perimenopause and menopause are showing up in your life or your practice, make time to understand them better.

One social worker can speak up. Thousands of social workers can move the conversation.

That’s the power of professional membership.

NASW-MN brings social workers together to advocate for:

• Strong professional standards
• A sustainable social work workforce
• Fair reimbursement
• Mental health access
• Housing stability
• Stronger human services
• The communities we serve

This year, that collective advocacy helped secure protections for the social work title and clinical training reimbursement.

There’s more work ahead.

The 2027 legislative session is coming—and we want your voice with us.

Whether you’re joining for the first time or renewing your membership, you’re helping build a stronger, more credible voice for social work in Minnesota.

Join NASW-MN today.
