What you'll learn
In this 2-hour webinar for early years, primary and secondary school staff, former teacher, coach and author, Amy Sayer, shines a light on the challenges of dealing with the symptoms of the menopause while working in a school and suggests tried-and-tested ways to navigate them.
Drawing on case studies from her years of experience supporting staff in education, she openly shares ways to help ensure that self-care during the menopause doesn’t slip under the radar in the face of increasing pressure and limited resources.
Amy’s webinar will help you to establish a school ethos which destigmatises conversations about the impact of the menopause on teachers and education staff. And provide you with the insight you need to ensure that you are looking after your needs in the best way possible during the busy school year.
