A Menopause Café aimed at breaking down the taboo around menopause, increasing awareness of the impact of the menopause on those experiencing it, their family, friends and their colleagues and reflecting on the ‘third stage of life’, is being held on Wednesday 20th November 2019. The Menopause Café is open to both male and female participants of all ages.
Menopause Cafe was founded by Rachel Weiss in Perth, Scotland. Following the World’s first Menopause Café in 2017, a number of Menopause Cafés have been organised throughout the UK, including in some workplaces. Rachel Weiss of Rowan Consultancy, who founded Menopause Café commented,
“The Menopause Café is aimed at women and men of all ages who would like to come along and talk about the menopause, to share their stories, experiences and questions, all made that little bit easier with tea and cake. Unfortunately, many women feel that they should just ‘get on with’ the Menopause, with some never talking to their friends or family about it, but the reality is that it affects all women eventually, not forgetting those who live and work with them. People can come along and just listen, or join in on the discussions, hopefully leaving with a clearer sense of the impact of the menopause on those who are experiencing it, alongside their families, friends and colleagues.”
