Promoting Menstrual Health: Elementary School Period Education Workshops

Menstrual health education is a crucial topic that often goes overlooked in many school curriculums. This is why small initiatives such as providing period workshops for girls in elementary schools can make a big impact. These workshops not only educate young girls about menstruation but also empower them to embrace their bodies and understand the changes they go through during puberty.

At these workshops, girls are taught about the menstrual cycle, menstrual hygiene, and how to manage period symptoms in a healthy way. By providing this education at a young age, we aim to break the stigma surrounding periods and ensure that girls feel confident and informed as they grow older. One of the key elements of these workshops is creating a safe and open space for girls to ask questions and share their experiences. It is important for them to feel comfortable talking about their periods and know that there is no shame in discussing a natural bodily function. By targeting elementary schools, we hope to reach girls at a critical age when they are beginning to go through puberty. We believe that by starting the conversation early, we can set a foundation for them to have a positive relationship with their bodies and menstruation. If you are a principal, teacher, or school nurse interested in hosting one of these workshops at your school, please stay tuned for more information on our website. Together, we can promote menstrual health and empower young girls to feel confident and informed about their bodies.
