Wellbeing Webinar: Women's Mental Health
This powerful session looks at mental health through a female lens - focussing on prevention, early intervention and health promotion. Social and economic factors can put women at greater risk of poor mental health than men. Around one in five women have a common mental health disorder, such as depression and anxiety. While there can be many reasons why these develop, some specific risk factors affect many women, including life events including pregnancy and menopause. When women find it hard to talk about difficult feelings, they tend to internalise them. This can lead to certain common mental health disorders. In this session, we will explore some of the specific risk factors and protective factors that can influence women’s mental health. Attendees will leave with some practical tools that will help support them to improve their mental health and wellbeing. This session is aimed at women - and at anyone who has women and girls that they care about, and live or work with.
