Menopause
Menopause can be experienced by women, transgender men and people who are intersex or identify as non-binary, particularly those who may not have accessed medical forms of transition. Staff going through menopause can request support which will be provided in a confidential and dignified manner. Menopause is a part of every woman’s life, whether medical or natural, early or late, with symptoms that are both physical and psychological.
The policy raises awareness of perimenopause and menopause, and provides information and support to those experiencing it, and ensures managers and staff are aware of Tusla’s responsibility and how that impacts our Staff. Please read this policy and make yourself aware of all of supports available.
We also have two webinars* for staff to view - one on Menopause and Nutrition and one on the Healthy Woman which explains diet and HRT. (*you must be logged into the Tusla network to view this content)
Health Wellbeing and EAP are here to support managers and staff and can be contacted on EAP@tusla.ie
