Menopause Awareness Training

About our Menopause Awareness Training

Menopause is a natural life event that affects a significant portion of the working population. Despite this, it is often overlooked and misunderstood. In this 3-hour Menopause Awareness Training, we will explore the physical, emotional, and professional challenges that menopausal individuals face. You will learn how to create a more empathetic and supportive environment for your colleagues and employees.

St John Ambulance Cymru is here to help your organisation take positive action to support staff experiencing menopause.

This Menopause Awareness Training is also available to complete online, giving you even more flexibility when supporting colleagues in the workplace.

St John Ambulance Cymru is a trusted and leading training provider in Wales. We are one of the few training organisations in Wales that offer an in-person Menopause Awareness course. Not only that, but when it comes to first aid training, we are the gold standard in Wales. As a member of the Voluntary Aid Society (VAS), St John Ambulance sets the standard that all other training providers must follow.

Menopause can affect wellbeing, performance, and attendance at work. Without the right support, it can also impact workplace culture and staff retention. With awareness and understanding, employers can create a more supportive and inclusive environment.

Menopause awareness training helps create a more supportive and understanding workplace. It can improve wellbeing, productivity, and attendance, while also supporting staff retention. It encourages open conversations and helps reduce stigma around menopause in the workplace.

Common menopause symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, fatigue, mood changes, and brain fog. Some people may also experience anxiety or low mood.

Menopause is not, in itself, a ‘protected characteristic’ under the Equality Act 2010. However, individuals may bring discrimination claims related to menopause based on protected characteristics such as disability, sex, or age. Therefore, employers should ensure they treat menopausal employees fairly and make reasonable adjustments where appropriate.

We teach this Menopause Awareness course at our training centres across Wales. We can also come to your place of work if six or more employees need to be trained.

What our Menopause Awareness course covers:

Understand and recognise the female reproductive system, signs of early menopause and menopause symptoms.

Recognise common myths and misconceptions of the menopause.

Understand the organisation's duty of care and how the equality and disability act could affect your business.
