Menopause and Neurodiversity webinar

Date: 15/10/2024
Location: Virtual

Date: 15th October

Time: 12pm

Menopause affects 51% of the population, having an impact on both physical and mental health: 1 in 6 women become depressed during this time. Perimenopause is the time before menopause, it averages a five year span from 46-51 and often coincides with sandwich generation pressures at home and career seniority pressures at work. Menopause occurs on average around the age of 51. Nature has created her own glass ceiling.

To date, research has focussed on the link between oestrogen and brain health, particularly on dopamine and serotonin levels. More recently, research to understand the link between menopause and neurodiversity has begun. Join us for this webinar, hosted by Sam Alexander – UK Country Officer and COO at DWS, along with Dr Judith Mohring an organisational Psychiatrist to learn how neurodiversity presents differently in women and why perimenopause and menopause can be particularly tough for this group.

Find out things to think about and practical ways to help yourself and your colleagues as another way to ensure we keep the senior female talent in our industry.
