Let’s continue to talk Menopause…..

October 27, 2022
One of the focus areas for CEMEX UK’s new Wellbeing Group looks at helping those going through the menopause, and those wanting to support loved ones who are.

It is very important that we are all aware of the menopause and its effects, so we can support the women around us, and ensure that they can access the help they need; including lifestyle changes, counselling and medicines that can replace missing hormones and ease symptoms. For many years menopause has been suffered in silence, but thankfully this is slowly starting to change.

Over the coming months, CEMEX will be sharing resources for its employees to help with the menopause. And not just for women – for men who wish to support their loved ones, and for Managers looking to help women in their teams. 

Last week, a webinar was delivered by New Leaf Health. The webinar covered:

  • stages of menopause
  • signs for these stages
  • post menopause + reflection
  • menopause and hysterectomy
  • hormones
  • weight gain treatments and risk
  • physical and mental health
  • coping mechanisms and positive behaviours

The webinar was very well attended and proved to be an excellent introduction to the Menopause, as well as a great refresher for some. Key take aways included the ways people can help themselves relieve symptoms through healthy eating and exercise, coping mechanisms and positive behaviours, but most importantly it was great to see CEMEX proactively starting the conversation around menopause.

Due to the level of interest, a further workshop is being arranged, alongside further information to help raise awareness. Please look out in UK News for further updates.
