“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 credible, practical support during their menopause transition — and that starts with training. We deliver structured, evidence-based sessions that equip managers, teams, and community leaders to understand menopause as a workplace and health issue, free from stigma or shame. Through training, we promote open conversation, legal and ethical awareness, and practical action. We want to see a society where women’s health is prioritised — supported by informed leadership, accessible healthcare, and community-based provision rooted in research and lived experience.

Aims 

We will deliver our Mission through the following training‑led aims:

• To bring informed, evidence‑based menopause training into homes, workplaces, and communities across Northern Ireland, ensuring conversations are guided by accurate knowledge rather than stigma or guesswork.
• To use training sessions to disseminate clear, accessible information about menopause symptoms, helping women recognise what they’re experiencing and know when to seek support.
• To provide structured training that supports women wherever they are in their menopause journey, offering practical guidance, signposting, and tools that build confidence and understanding.
• To increase understanding and reduce stigma by equipping leaders, teams, and communities through high‑quality training, ensuring menopause is treated as a standard health topic rather than a taboo.
