International Women’s Day at West College Scotland
I had the pleasure of attending West College Scotland's Health & Wellbeing Drop In session in celebration of International Women's Day 2023, and it was a fantastic event! The session was organised by the wonderful Victoria O'Donnell, and it included discussions about mental health, free period products provided by Hey Girls, and even a talk about endometriosis. It was a brilliant way to raise awareness and let students know that it's okay to talk about periods and mental health.
It was inspiring to see so many students engaged in the event, asking questions and participating in discussions. It's important to have events like this to break down the taboo surrounding periods and mental health. I am grateful to Victoria for inviting me to speak about endometriosis and to be a part of such a valuable initiative.
Overall, it was an excellent event, and I look forward to attending more in the future.

If you'd like to have your workplace, college, or university learn more about menstrual wellbeing and women's health, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Raising awareness and breaking the taboo surrounding these topics is essential, and I would love to be a part of that conversation. Together, we can create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable discussing their health concerns.
