💜 Peri/Menopause and emotional wellbeing

💜 Hertfordshire Talking Therapies offers psychological help and employment support for people experiencing a wide range of common emotional difficulties. It is part of the NHS Talking Therapies, for anxiety and depression programme.

💜 How can we support:
Peri/Menopause is a life transition that all people who have or have had menstrual cycles go through. It is characterised by hormonal fluctuations and decreasing levels of the hormones oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

💜 Many people find these changes overwhelming and difficult to navigate. It can be hard to talk about how you are feeling and ask for help, but you do not have to struggle alone; there is support available.
