Not yet rated

Purpose: Half of the population will go through this major natural life change but so many of us are not prepared and don’t know what to expect. How we talk about menopause has to change. We created Cycle of Change: Understanding Menopauseto empower women and share real-life experiences from all stages of the menopause transition.

Outcome: With 20 hours of interviews condensed into 5 minutes, ‘Cycle of change’ shares over 450 women’s experiences at all stages of the menopause transition, aiming to prepare women with understanding and positive advice. Made through workshops, surveys, research and collaboration with menopause experts, Diane Danzebrink and Hazel Hayden.

To listen to interviews and find more info about the project visit the website https://cycleofchange.org/.

Feedback: “So many of my friends are in denial that it is happening. Films like this will hopefully help them realise the symptoms and seek help." Participant

The film and resources are free to use by GPs, Menopause Specialists and Women’s Health Specialists, as well as for professional training.

Team: Produced by ForMed Films with support from The Burdett Trust for Nursing, The National Lottery, in collaboration with Menopause Support and Bristol Menopause Clinic.
