About this event

Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us for a supportive and informative workshop designed to help parents and caregivers approach conversations about menstrual cycles with comfort and confidence. Discover practical tips, age-appropriate language, and effective strategies to create open and supportive dialogue with your daughter. In this workshop, we’ll discuss female anatomy, the stages of the menstrual cycle, and even assemble personalized menstrual kits. Empower yourself to provide guidance, break down taboos, and foster a positive, healthy perspective on this important topic.

Frequently asked questions

What is the EARN-FS 2025 Community Workshop Series?

The mission of the Early Responsive Nurturing Care for Food Security (EARN-FS) team is to identify pathways to increase access to existing health and nutrition services to reduce food insecurity levels. Our team is housed within the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

What do I need to bring?

There are no requirements for you to bring anything to attend. We will be providing all supplies to help you learn information at the workshop, including pens, paper, and resource sheets.

Are children allowed to attend?

YES! We encourage you to bring your children along so you don't have to find child care. We will have adults who will supervise the children in a separate section of the room, so you will always be able to see your children, but you will be able to engage with the workshops activities.

Do I need to RSVP for my children?

No! RSVP is only for adults.

Will food be provided?

Yes! We will provide food for attendees and their children.
