We have been delivering more training on Period Dignity, covering the topics of menstrual health and wellbeing, period poverty, menopause, and the impact on education and employment. We were also delighted to deliver a ‘Lunch and Learn’ session with Welsh Government colleagues across all policy areas to share findings from the recently-concluded ‘SPPINN (Severe Period Pain Is Not Normal) Study.<\/p>\n
Isabel, our charity manager, and Debbie, our founder, have been delivering training across North Wales, on the topic of Period Dignity. Training sessions have covered the topics of menstrual health and wellbeing, providing an overview of a variety of conditions including menopause, endometriosis, and PMDD. The training also covers issues pertaining to period poverty, education, and employment. The sessions include a chance to explore and examine a variety of period products and their uses, consider real-world situations, and the interactive games, ‘Play Your Pads Right’, ‘Sticker the Issue’ and ‘Quiz with Is!’.<\/p>\n
Attendees gave the following feedback:<\/p>\n
“[The most useful part of the session was gaining a] greater awareness of period dignity alongside period poverty and being aware of how to support my team alongside supported individuals”<\/p>\n
“Great activities delivered by people passionate which made the delivery super.”<\/p>\n
“The session was very informative and enhanced my knowledge on periods and menstrual wellbeing”<\/p>\n

FTWW, alongside Cardiff University, was also pleased to be invited by Welsh Government’s Period Dignity Team to deliver a ‘Lunch and Learn’ session with colleagues across all policy areas to share findings from the recently-concluded ‘SPPINN (Severe Period Pain Is Not Normal) Study.<\/p>\n
Joined by a wide variety of teams, we were pleased to have the opportunity to discuss how menstrual health symptoms and conditions can impact on health services, education, family, business, and the economy – and how collaboration across sectors will be vital to driving change. We look forward now to delivering a follow-up workshop later this year where SPPINN recommendations will be reviewed and next steps decided!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
