Peri~Menopause Definition: Dr. Hawes uses "Peri~Menopause" as her inclusive term for all pathways to and through menopause.

📖 Community Resource Sharing: Bring your favorites to share! We'll have a community station where you can share your go-to apps, books, etc. Everyone can photograph the collection, and Dr. Hawes will create a master resource list posted to her website - so you'll gain wisdom not just from our providers, but from each other too!

You'll Leave With:

· Actionable strategies you can implement immediately

· Better understanding of your options (because it's NOT one-size-fits-all OR set it and forget it!)

· Connection to local healthcare providers and resources

· New community connections

We'll have water and a warm welcome, but to keep this event free and accessible, we won't be offering lunch. You're welcome to bring your own food and drink if you'd like! Resources for everyone, raffle prizes for lucky winners. 🎁

We're hoping this becomes an annual event and maybe more!
