“When businesses support menopause, women thrive — and so does the organisation. Practical, thoughtful action builds stronger, more inclusive workplaces."

Menopause NI was formed by Siobhan Kearney in response to the growing need to awareness and education around the menopause.  The menopause will happen to every woman in Northern Ireland, yet there is still no Women’s Health Strategy in place, never mind a strategic approach to supporting women as they transition through their menopause.  

There is now a need for a dedicated space to provide evidence-based information on the menopause, support to women who are experiencing menopausal symptoms and for businesses who want to support female colleagues in the workplace.

Our Mission 

Our mission is to ensure that all women in Northern Ireland have access to information and support in their transition through the menopause.  We want to live in a world where the menopause is talked about like any other health condition and that there is no stigma or shame associated with this phase in our lives.  We want to see a society where women’s health is prioritised and that this is supported by access to health care services, research, and evidence-based provision in local communities.

Aims 

We will deliver our Mission through the following aims:

• To bring the conversation about the menopause into homes, workplaces, and communities across Northern Ireland.
• To disseminate messages about the menopause that will ensure women are aware of the symptoms.
• To support women, wherever they are, in their journey through the menopause.
• To increase understanding of the menopause and reduce the stigma surrounding this phase in a woman’s life.
