We’re Having a pERRY pARTY!!
Why We Gather:
Perimenopause Awareness Month is a dedicated time each year to raise awareness, share knowledge, and foster understanding about the transitional phase of perimenopause that millions of women experience. Launched through a collaborative effort between Perry, a pioneering community platform supporting women through perimenopause, and the National Menopause Foundation, a leading organization advocating for women's health, this initiative seeks to highlight the unique challenges and changes associated with perimenopause.
How It Started
The 2024 inception of Perimenopause Awareness Month began with Perry and the National Menopause Foundation recognizing a critical gap in public understanding and support for women in the perimenopausal stage.
Together, they established Perimenopause Awareness Month to ensure women receive the attention, respect, and care they deserve during this pivotal time in their lives.
Perimenopause Awareness Month aims to:
Educate: Provide accurate, comprehensive information about perimenopause, its symptoms, and management strategies.
Support: Offer resources and a supportive community for women navigating this life stage.
Advocate: Promote better healthcare practices and policies to improve the quality of life for women during perimenopause.
During Perimenopause Awareness Month, Perry and the National Menopause Foundation do the following:
Host Educational Webinars and Workshops: Featuring leading healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates.
Share Personal Stories: Encouraging women to share their experiences, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.
Provide Resources: Offering guides, articles, and tools to help women manage their perimenopausal symptoms effectively.
Advocate for Change: Working with policymakers, healthcare providers, and organizations to improve perimenopausal care and support.
And they encourage Perry Parties!
That’s where the Second Bloom and today’s gathering comes in! It’s the inaugural World Perimenopause Awareness Day and we’re celebrating in the most special way by collaborating with incredible women who are creating solutions for everyone going through the journey.
