Barwon Heads Family Practice is hosting a Menopause Day later this month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The practice has created the event in the hope it can offer a mature, informative, and vibrant conversation to the community around the value of receiving a thorough understanding of what support is available for them during this phase of life.<\/p>\n

Presentations will aim to “expand everyone’s perspective from hot flushes to truly holistic healthcare”.<\/p>\n

According to the Australasian Menopause Society, every woman will be affected by menopause in some way, either experiencing symptoms or other physical changes.<\/p>\n

The average age of menopause is 51 years but some women enter menopause earlier.<\/p>\n

The 10 speakers at the Barwon Heads event are from a variety of specialised providers and have been specially chosen to discuss all the elements of change that can occur that require nurturing throughout this biological transition.<\/p>\n

As part of the event, several allied health services will host information stalls to talk to attendees one on one and offer demonstrations on certain supportive techniques.<\/p>\n

There are also more than $2,000 worth of donations ready to be auctioned, with all funds raised going towards a specialised opportunity for this demographic to promote healthy movement, minds and social connections.<\/p>\n

All attendees will receive a goody bag valued at $100 filled with information and samples of relevant products and services from local providers<\/p>\n

The event will take place at Barwon Heads Community Hall, 77 Hitchcock Avenue, Barwon Heads on May 25 from 11.30am to 2.30pm.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $49 for individual entry, $90 for two people, or $500 for a table of 12.<\/p>\n
