Menopause Friendly status for College
Gower College Swansea has been awarded Menopause Friendly Accreditation status.
This is in recognition of the College’s ongoing work to raise awareness of the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, and the suite of support it has put in place for staff.
Some examples of this include regular Menopause Cafes, opportunities for staff to meet with menopause specialists, and seminars on how to manage symptoms. Most recently, staff and students had a chance to try out a Menovest TM, which simulates the feeling of a hot flush.
