Menopause Matters.

Real Talk. Real Support.
Real Midlife.

Menopause Matters is more than a lecture and more than a support group. It’s a place to learn, laugh, ask questions, and feel less alone—whether you’re navigating menopause, redefining midlife, or figuring out what comes next.

TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 5:30 PM

If you’re caring for others while also moving through menopause, you’re navigating through more than most. Caregiving Compass offers a place to pause, get your bearings, and learn how to travel this challenging terrain from an expert guide.

Caregiving Compass offers a place to pause, get your bearings, and learn how to travel this challenging terrain with caregiver guide Kim Dickens.

This session provides a supportive space to:

• Learn how to begin (or revisit) essential family care conversations

• Explore practical resources

• Build a realistic, sustainable plan

• Prioritize your own well-being while caring for others

Caregiving can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Menopause + Midlife: Support That Meets You Where You Are

Menopause isn’t a medical problem, it’s a life transition. Menopause Matters offers education, community, and expert insight to help you navigate menopause and the wider midlife chapter with clarity, confidence, and humor.

What Is Menopause Matters?

Menopause Matters is a community-based FREE series created to normalize conversations around menopause and midlife. Each session blends expert-presented guidance and advice, lived experience, and real conversation — without shame, fear, or overwhelm.

How Menopause Matters Evolved

What began as informal conversations (Menopause Cafe in 2023) has grown into an expert-led series supporting women through menopause and the many transitions of midlife.

Menopause Matters Today

Now sponsored by AARP, Menopause Matters has expanded its focus beyond menopause to include the broader realities of midlife: identity, health, caregiving, work, relationships, and more.
