Introduction

Welcome to this free OpenLearn course on menopause. The course is designed to help anyone whose life is affected by the menopause, whether you are experiencing the menopause or supporting someone who is. No matter which gender you identify with, this transitional phase can affect people in many ways, so this course is open to everyone.

The course has four sessions and you can work through the course at your own pace. So if you have more time one week there is no problem with pushing on to complete another session. The four sessions consist of the following:

• Session 1: What are we are talking about?
• Session 2: Symptoms and strategies
• Session 3: Managing sleep and stress during the menopause
• Session 4: Exercise and the menopause
