"A Good Period" Workshop
Through a process of co-design with women who are menstruating, Women's Health Tas has developed a workshop about menstrual health. It's discussion-based, informative and fun, and you get to take home some very special resources to help you track whether you are in your badass or bleeding phase.
Please note: this workshop provides a general overview of menstruation and provides a space for people with periods to share their experiences. We are not medical professionals, and therefore cannot give specific advice around issues such as PMDD or endometriosis. If you are seeking more detailed support or advice for your issue, we suggest you visit a women’s health GP, gynecologist, or pelvic floor physio. You can also check out our Pregnancy Choices Website database to search for sexual and reproductive health care service providers in your area.
