Our workshops educate adolescents about Puberty & Menstrual cycle while dismantling the taboo & stigma associated with periods, In accordance with the national curriculum and DFE guidelines.
What we do & why we are different!
We have created a workshop model that works to break down the taboo while removing the stigma around the topic, we work to prevent bullying and shaming behaviour, Whilst enabling adolescents to become more confident when dealing with this natural cycle.
The workshops have been created to celebrate menstruation, eliminate any stigma and get young people talking.
The sessions are very interactive and engaging unlike conventional schooling this workshop creates a safe space for individuals to open up and discuss the subject.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Brookfield Primary School- Sutton
Rachel and her colleague were excellent with our Year 6 menstrual cycle workshop. They were very well prepared with their resources, activities and informative slides! Sitting in with our pupils, it was lovely to see the engagement and participation of the girls in a welcoming and open space. The resources were age appropriate and the ladies were very good at answering appropriate questions and signalling others to the class teacher if it was too in depth for the workshop. It was very educational and would recommend!
Holy trinity school- Northwood
This workshop is great for both girls & boys it complied with the national curriculum and offered much more than what is expected to be delivered.
There is such a stigma around periods and the boys of course laughed, but once the trainer explained the affects it has the conversation turned to asking more in-depth questions which was great.
I would suggest this workshop as its fun, educational & very interactive using a selection of games, videos & quizzes.
Mum who attended workshop
Thanks for the workshop on Saturday, it was a really nice experience to have with my daughter. It allowed her to learn some very invaluable information but in a relaxed non formal setting she got a lot out of it.
Please do anther one explaining about the birds and the bees ;)
