The Menopause Project is an education and research project between Informing Choices NI and Ulster University.
It is funded by The Ideas Fund in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area.
In the first part of the project our aim was to design an education programme for women with a learning disability; to be delivered in group settings and find out if it improved knowledge on menopause and, through feedback from participants, look at any changes needed to the programme. You can read the brief report of the research findings here, and the full report is available here.
One of the recommendations from the report was for better training and support for staff and carers so that they have the skills and confidence to better inform and support people with learning disabilities around menopause. This will take place over the next year with completion by the end of June 2025. This is once again funded by The Ideas Fund.
