In Phase 1 we listened to the voices of women and gender-diverse people in PEI regarding their perimenopause and menopause experiences. What we heard resulted in a report outlining recommendations for policy change.
In Phase 2, we will hold community workshops across the province to discuss those recommendations, decide which matter most, and suggest next steps for action.
What we hear will shape a set of community-informed policy priorities for a provincial policy forum in the new year. We invite you to join one of our community workshops. Select a workshop near you and register online or by phone 902-894-3399
