About this Event
Join us for The Menarche Workshop, a two-hour interactive educational workshop designed especially for caregivers and their children, ages 8-12! This special workshop is open to ALL genders, whether you get a period or not :-) Dads and big brothers are welcome to join too!
All participants will receive a shared goodie bag and educational resources to take home.
This engaging session provides families with empowering, age-appropriate knowledge about the menstrual cycle and the onset of puberty. Through hands-on activities, open discussions, and practical tips, parents and kids will gain a solid understanding of what to expect, how to manage symptoms, and how to support each other in creating a positive approach to menstruation.
Your child deserves to feel confident, knowledgable, and supported as they enter this new stage of growth. The Menarche Workshop offers a safe, nurturing space to learn together, ask questions, and build a foundation for open conversations around puberty and menstruation.
