About this Event

While menopause is not universally associated with poor mental health, a significant number of women report psychological and cognitive symptoms during this transition and a subgroup are at increased risk of developing mental health disorders. Additionally, menopausal symptoms can overlap with or exacerbate common mental health conditions, which should be carefully considered during assessment, formulation, and treatment planning.

The Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences presents this interactive, one-day professional development workshop providing an evidence-based update on the relationship between menopause and mental health. It will provide practical, CBT and Self-Compassion based strategies to integrate menopause-related factors into mental health assessment and treatment.

Delivered by an interdisciplinary team of leading experts—Professor Martha Hickey (Gynaecology), Dr Anne Unkenstein (Neuropsychology), and Dr Lydia Brown (Clinical Psychology)—the workshop also explores models of interdisciplinary care and ways to empower clients through menopause and beyond. Participants will leave with increased knowledge, confidence, and clinical skills based on the latest science.


This all-day workshop provides a total of 6 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). A certificate of participation will be provided to all attendees.

This is a fully catered event, with refreshments and meals provided as part of your registration fee.


Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the latest research on menopause, including common symptoms, treatment options and its relationship to mental health.
  • Develop skills incorporating menopause into mental health assessments.
  • Learn cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and self-compassion-based approaches to promote adjustment to menopausal symptoms.
  • Gain insight into brain fog, and practical strategies to address cognitive symptoms.
  • Upskill in interdisciplinary care that empowers women over menopause and beyond.
