This Girl Is Still On Fire: Perimenopause and Menopause

Title of Event: This Girl Is Still On Fire: Perimenopause and Menopause

Description of Event:

Join the Sexual Health Alliance for a BRAND NEW WEEKEND: This Girl is STILL On Fire: Perimenopause & Menopause Online Sexceptional Weekend. This is a two-day virtual training exploring the physical, psychological, relational, and sexual changes that can occur throughout perimenopause and menopause featuring new research, updates and new presenters to our previous weekend training last year.

Featuring leading sexuality researcher and educator Dr. Justin Lehmiller, this event will bring NEW research, clinical insight, and practical education together to help professionals better understand the experiences of people navigating midlife hormonal changes.

Perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than the menstrual cycle. Changes in hormones, sleep, mood, body image, sexual desire, arousal, comfort, orgasm, and relationship dynamics can influence a person’s overall well-being and intimate life. Yet many people enter this stage without adequate information or support, while professionals may receive limited training on how to address these concerns confidently and compassionately.

This Online Sexceptional Weekend is designed for therapists, counselors, physicians, nurses, coaches, educators, social workers, students, and other professionals who want to provide informed and affirming support throughout the menopause transition.
