Open Session at Lewes HQ to learn about the Menopause
Menopause is natural - all women will eventually experience it. For some, it will go almost unnoticed except for the tangibly obvious, some may experience it much sooner than expected and for others the time around the menopause will be marked with intense symptoms, sometimes leading to difficulties at home and work. Reports have shown that women value the opportunity to discuss openly the issues around menopause and how it affects them in the workplace. The Force has run a session this year in Eastbourne, which was very well received and proved useful to those who may be affected by the menopause (now and in the future), partners of people who may be affected and staff who may manage people affected by the menopause. The next session will be held on Wednesday 23rd May led by Kathy Abernethy, a Menopause Specialist Nurse. Kathy has extensive clinical expertise as a Menopause Specialist, regularly seeing and advising women on all issues relating to menopausal health. The session will be split into two parts: Open Session at 12:00-13:15: Open to all colleagues, the session will be an opportunity to learn more about menopause, what to expect and to ask questions, in a safe environment. A Managers & Supervisors Session at 13:30-14:30 Specifically for managers and supervisors, the session will focus on the considerations and support that can be provided to a team member experiencing the menopause. Each session will be held in The Conference Room, Amberley Block, Lewes HQ and are open to colleagues located anywhere in the force area. Booking is not required, though any questions ahead of the session should be directed to Diversity@sussex.pnn.police.uk. The sessions will be replicated in the West division later in the year.
