Ready to open the conversation on women’s health?

“THE (M) FACTOR – Shredding the Silence on Menopause” is the first documentary to bring menopause into the spotlight, sparking an important conversation for women. It brings attention to the often overlooked health challenges that women face leading up to and during menopause. The transition to natural menopause can start at different ages for women, including as early as their mid-30s.

It’s important to note that the experience varies significantly from woman to woman, with some experiencing subtle changes and others facing more intense symptoms.

Following the film, there will be a live Q&A session with expert obstetrics/gynecology physicians who will engage and educate local attendees, providing them an opportunity to ask questions, discuss menopause health concerns and share their stories in an empowering atmosphere with their peers.

Due to the popularity of the film, two screenings will be held:

• September 9 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on our Westville Campus
• October 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at our Hammond Campus
