1/2 One of the perimenopausal teachers I worked with called it not being able to 'run the room'. After years of knowing exactly how you want your classroom to function and making it happen, you forget the crucial bits of organisation.

1/4 I work with schools.
I've always worked in and around schools. I've done it so long my body still manages a half term lurgy even when I've mostly been working online!

Anxiety can come out of nowhere in perimenopause and it can be an unwelcome companion in menopause too! It can turn the most ordinary of tasks into hard work and make our work in schools stressful and exhausting.

1/4 We all need to keep our cool in the classroom!
All teachers and classroom assistants do it. You stay calm in difficult and challenging situations. You manage children and young people who are often poorly emotionally regulated.

A Menopause in School SOS workshop puts participants on the right track - whether that's solving problems in the classroom or taking the necessary steps to improve their own peri/menopausal health.
It's a small investment for a big impact!
#Edusky #EduskyUk #WomenEd
Perimenopause and menopause can cause real problems with our health, our mental health and our cognition.
We're already doing a job that's challenging.
Put those two together and you've got a recipe for 'just too much to keep on'.

Has you school got a menopause champion. Is it something you've considered. It's a really good way of ensuring that the needs of perimenopausal and menopausal colleagues are considered and met.

No-one wants peri/menopause to disrupt their working life. No-one wants to watch their colleagues struggle. We're all trying to give the children and young people we work with the best possible education.
Lets stop peri/menopause getting in the way!

“It was great. All staff who took part in the training are now more aware of how menopause can affect women in the workplace and possible ways to support them.” Assistant Headteacher
If we want to make the lives of our colleagues going through perimenopause and menopause in school easier there's a simple starting point.
We make more of their colleagues aware of what's going on.
#Edusky #EduskyUk #WomenEd
Going through perimenopause and menopause while you work in a school is tough!
I know that through personal experience and from the many school staff I've worked with over the years.
That's why I'm here to help.
Drop me a line!

1/3 It's a horrible feeling. The word won't come. You had it. It was there. And now it isn't. None of the other words are quite right. It's one you use all the time. And it's not there. So you end up replacing it with something that's not as good - or even ridiculous.

10 Reasons Everyone Needs to Know about Menopause.
Everybody? The whole world? Pretty much. But definitely the whole school needs to know about menopause.
Here's why!

1/5 Why Menopause in Schools?
I work with schools. I've worked in, alongside and with schools all my working life. I've talked to hundreds possibly, thousands of people who work in schools about their work and about their struggles with perimenopause and menopause.
#Edusky #EduskyUK #WomenEd
I love it when my work in schools creates a chain reaction!
Helping just one person - or a small group of school colleagues can create a change that goes so much further. The conversation starts to spread and more and more people can be supported.
