Women are the focus of an evening dedicated to health, women\u2019s health.
\nProfessional speakers will cover menopause and menstruation topics right down to sexual health, mental and emotional wellbeing.
\nThe free Women\u2019s Health Forum is a collaboration of Women\u2019s Health Grampians and Moorabool Shire Council and will be held this Wednesday 11 March, as part of International Women\u2019s Day (Sunday 8 March).
\nSally Jones (Community Strengthening MSC GM) said the event was derived from a survey completed in 2019 by female members in the shire.
\n\u201cCouncil\u2019s public health plan 2017-2021 highlighted a strategy to increase awareness of sexual health issues for older women,\u201d Ms Jones said.
\n\u201cA survey indicated that sexual and reproductive health, mental health, and physical health were things that women wanted to hear more about.
\n\u201cIt was decided that a women\u2019s forum was a great way for women to come together to hear from a number of speakers and experts on topics that were important to them,\u201d she said.
\nMs Jones said there was no better time than International Women\u2019s Day to be promoting women\u2019s health and wellbeing.\u201d
\nMultiple topics relating to women\u2019s health will be covered with a light supper, information tables, giveaways and opportunities for question throughout.
