Did you know that #menopause affects 2 million people in the U.S. each year? In our latest blog for #WorldMenopauseDay, Kristen Abell, our Director of Website & Digital Projects, says we need to normalize talking about menopause and how it co-occurs with mental health conditions. "It's time we start learning and talking about menopause," Kristen writes. "We need to stop being ashamed and afraid of the bodily changes of people with ovaries and instead make sure they have the information they need to go through those changes in as healthy a way as possible."
