Menopause Awareness Workshop in Blessington IPAS Centre

Reaching Women Where They Are

We know that not every woman has equal access to information, support or services. Some women may not know where to start. Others may feel embarrassed, isolated or excluded from the conversation.

Through community education, awareness sessions and local partnerships, we aim to reach women in Ireland in a way that feels practical, respectful and supportive.

Our Community Work Includes:

Our aim is to ensure women feel less alone, more informed and more confident about where to go next.

This is about widening access and making sure more women can receive clear, trusted and consistent information.

Local education events
Practical menopause information
Family and community understanding

Partnerships with community groups and organisations

Trusted Multidisciplinary Network

The Irish Menopause Institute Trusted Multidisciplinary Network is a trusted community of qualified and accredited professionals working across women's health and menopause support.

Our aim is to make it easier for women to identify and connect with reputable professionals who are appropriately qualified to practise within their own professional discipline and scope of practice.

Professionals included within the network are expected to demonstrate relevant professional qualifications, accreditation or registration, appropriate insurance and a commitment to working within their recognised scope of practice.

The network brings together expertise from across healthcare, holistic and allied health professions, creating a multidisciplinary platform where women can more confidently identify the type of support that may be appropriate for their individual needs.

Our role is not to replace existing professional or regulatory bodies, but to help women navigate menopause support by providing greater clarity, accessibility and connection to appropriately qualified professionals.

Through the Trusted Multidisciplinary Network, the Irish Menopause Institute is building a reliable and accessible platform where women can find credible support and make informed choices throughout their menopause journey.

We are now welcoming applications from qualified professionals, and our network directory will be published on the Irish Menopause Institute website as the network grows.
