This week, VONNE has been lucky enough to attend a virtual training session on menopause awareness and gave a warm welcome to the incredible Sharon MacArthur- also known as Miss Menopause.
Sharon provides tailored non-medical training & information sessions on menopause awareness, dispersing with the common myths and taboos, and advocating for better education and understanding surrounding this major life event.
The informal but informative session was very popular with staff, with almost a full house attending. Sharon began the session with a menopause ‘True or False’ quiz, with some surprising results. Audience participation & questions were actively encouraged and many of our own stories and experiences were shared. After a short break, the session was wrapped up with a spot of mythbusting- shattering the outdated concept of what is a ‘normal’ menopause and empowering women to take control of their own experience.
As a progressive organisation, VONNE continues to strive to be an all-inclusive employer, providing a safe space for employees to start a dialogue on issues affecting both themselves and others, and the menopause is no exception.
Sharon has appeared on numerous radio and TV stations raising awareness of the menopause and its effects. For more information on Miss Menopause and Sharon’s work visit www.missmenopause.co.uk
