Changes We Don’t Talk About: Mental Health and Perimenopause.
The session created a safe and open space to discuss the often-overlooked relationship between perimenopause and mental health. The discussion explored hormonal transitions, emotional well-being, and the importance of self-awareness, self-care, and supportive environments for women. Participants engaged actively through questions, reflections, and shared experiences, contributing to a meaningful and supportive dialogue.
Key Takeaway
A memorable reflection shared during the session described perimenopause in Black women as:
“A storm hitting a strong house that has not been given the repairs it needs.”
This metaphor emphasized the importance of awareness, self-care, and support systems for women navigating this transition.
Thank you so much for the presentation. Next time, I’d like the community to involve male spouses so they will be enlightened and be better able to support their female counterparts – physically and emotionally.
