It is true – much of the population experiences perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause and knows little or nothing about it!
For many individuals, this stage of life produces minimal noticeable effects but for some, it can influence their mental health.
At City University of Seattle, our counseling students are skilled in discussing issues that come up during all stages of life, including those that are more difficult to talk about.
Please reach out if you are needing any support!

How much do you know about menopause and mental health?

Two million people go through menopause in the United States every year. So, why aren’t there more open conversations happening about what it can do to our mental health?

We're here to change that. On our blog, Kristen Abell, MHA’s director of website and digital project, talks about her experience going through perimenopause as someone with lived experience.

Swipe through to learn more about the stages of menopause and the affect it can have on mental health, and read Kristen’s story at the link below.

Mental health doesn’t take a summer break.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions, and of course share it with anyone you think could benefit.
