Shifting hormones can influence energy, sleep, concentration, memory, mood and executive function, sometimes making everyday life feel very different. Everyone is welcome. Learning more about these changes can help us better understand and support ourselves, our partners, friends, family members and colleagues.

Perimenopause & Menopause: Understanding the Changes
Perimenopause and menopause can bring changes that affect far more than our periods. Shifting hormones can influence energy, sleep, concentration, memory, mood and executive function, sometimes making everyday life feel very different.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the basics of perimenopause and menopause and how hormonal changes can interact with neurodivergence and daily life. We’ll consider why this stage can be particularly challenging when it coincides with late identification of neurodivergence, and how changes that may be attributed to stress, burnout or “just getting older” can sometimes be understood differently.
We’ll also look at practical ways to support yourself, including recognising changing needs, adapting expectations, protecting your energy and finding healthcare support.
Everyone is welcome. Learning more about these changes can help us better understand and support ourselves, our partners, friends, family members and colleagues.
