welcome

In western culture, in particular, we tend to see menopause as a medical event, and we turn over our advocacy to the medical model.

The experience of The Menopause Years and beyond is so much more. It is both universal and unique, and it is here that complexity can lie.

And yes, we want access to prompt, compassionate, effective medical interventions when required. However, these years are too big an event for the medical model alone.

We should encourage medicine to bring the best it has, but it shouldn’t be steering the ship. That is our job.
