Experienced. Certified. Supportive.
Period positive workshops for schools
As a certified menstrual cycle coach, qualified children's social worker (DBS) and trainer/consultant, I am well placed to offer workshops to children and young people. I bring two decades of experience of working with children and families and with it confidence about sharing difficult information with children and supporting practitioners to do so. I am really passionate about ensuring children and young people have access to good quality menstrual education at the right age and believe this is a fundamental a human right.
What I do
I provide workshops for children and staff in line with the new curriculum focussing on menstrual well-being. This includes: hormones, anatomy, signs your periods are due to start, what to expect and exploration of period products.
How I do it
Offer 1 hour in person workshops for year 5 & 6 children, inclusive of preparation, consultation, resources and travel within Monmouthshire.
I offer in person or online workshops for staff/parents, tailored to meet your needs and which focus on how to share menstrual education in a fun and informative way, whilst reducing shame and stigma.
