FAQs
If you’re not finding the answer to your question, please contact us. We’re always here to help.
Is this really free?
Yes. Every place is fully funded by NEBOSH. There’s no charge to you at any point.
Who can attend?
Our free support sessions are for self-employed women, women who freelance and women who work in microbusinesses of less than 50 employees who are experiencing peri-menopause or menopause. They are also open to transgender men (AFAB) who are self-employed or working in micro-businesses up to 50 employees and experiencing symptoms.
Do I have to be “in menopause” already?
No. The sessions are also for those in perimenopause — the years leading up to menopause when symptoms often begin.
What if I’m not sure it’s menopause?
That’s okay. The session helps you recognise signs and understand the overlap between menopause, stress, and mental health.
When and where do sessions run?
They’re held online, so you can join from anywhere. New sessions open every month, and we’ll send you the next available date after you register.
How long is the session?
Three hours, including short breaks. You’ll leave with practical tools you can use straight away.
Do I need any special technology?
Just a device with internet access. You’ll receive a simple Zoom link and joining instructions by email.
Do I need to turn my camera on?
Yes please! These sessions are interactive and you will get a lot more out of them if you fully engage with us and the other attendees. Peer support is a very important element of this programme.
Is this a safe space?
Yes. Every session is confidential, kind, and judgement-free. You’re welcome exactly as you are.
Do I need to talk during the sessions?
The live sessions are conducted online in groups of 20. They are interactive, with discussions in pairs or groups. Participation is encouraged.
What if I get upset or can’t find the words?
That’s okay. You can take breaks, stay quiet, or share as little as you want.
What if I can’t attend live?
Sessions run weekly until October 2026. There are many chances to attend. Join our mailing list for updates.
Can I bring a colleague or friend?
Yes! If they’re self-employed or in a micro‑business, they can book a free place too.
Do you provide medical advice?
No. The sessions provide education and signposting, not medical diagnosis or treatment. For medical concerns, speak with a GP or qualified practitioner.
What happens after the workshop?
You’ll be invited to join our free monthly MenoMinds Academy with continued learning and guest speakers.
Will there be resources to keep?
Yes — digital handouts, exercises, and links to additional support.
Can I attend again?
If you can’t attend, you can move to another session — just let us know. If you miss more than once without notice, we cannot offer another place.
Can the training be purchased for larger organisations?
Yes. Larger organisations can purchase our programmes. Contact info@menominds.co.uk to enquire.
