CPD Event title: Working with Women
Brief Description Of Event:
This CPD equips you with knowledge and skills to understand and address women’s unique challenges, including how reproductive hormones affect mental health.
During the CPD, we will explore the practical aspects of understanding women’s reproductive health. We will cover the differences between the male and female brain, examine the Menstrual Cycle, and provide foundational knowledge to help practitioners understand how hormonal changes affect women. This knowledge will empower you to help women reduce stress and anxiety and regain control over their bodies.
Given that 1 in 5 women experience anxiety and depression, and women in the UK are more than twice as likely as men to have a Common Mental Health issue, it’s crucial to understand that these statistics are linked to the hormonal changes women undergo during their reproductive lives. This CPD is a vital step in addressing these mental health issues.
