Menopause Resources
It can be difficult for D/deaf and hard of hearing communities to access reliable, medical information surrounding their periods and the menopause.
BID Services are proud to have been working in partnership with My Menopause Centre, Holland & Barrett and the University of Wolverhampton to develop accessible resources for those who are D/deaf and hard of hearing about the menopause. These resources provide answers to common questions about the menopause, explanations about words you might come across related to the menopause and in-depth workshops on key topics. All resources have British Sign Language (BSL), subtitles and audio.
