Menopause for allies: a masterclass for school leaders and managers

This masterclass, run by expert facilitator Helen Clare, created for men and those assigned male at birth, will give you a deeper understanding of the challenges of perimenopause and menopause in the school environment and more confidence to navigate conversations around menopause with colleagues and team members. It will enable you to support them or to signpost them to appropriate support and will also provide you with fresh insight on how to create a culture which encourages open conversation about menopause.

During this masterclass we will explore:

• What happens to the body and mind in peri/menopause?
• How this can affect our work in schools?
• What about menopause?
• How schools can support staff through menopause?
• How we can best support our colleagues?
• How can we navigate conversations about menopause as leaders and colleagues?
• How we can contribute to a change in culture around menopause?
• What does it mean to be an ally?

Who should attend?

This session has been designed for school staff (working in schools in Wales) who are male or assigned male at birth, especially those with leadership responsibilities.

This session will not be recorded, so don't miss your chance to attend. Masterclasses and TA workshops only run until end of March 2025.
