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:
