The Film: The (M) Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause film explores the hidden impact of menopause on women's lives. Menopause has ramifications beyond just an individual woman’s well-being. The far-ranging results of women enduring untreated menopause include billions of dollars in lost wages, upended careers, family disruptions, and emotional chaos. With evidence-based information, the film empowers women to make informed health decisions and aims to remove the stigma surrounding menopause and aging.
The Panel: Local Menopause Practitioners will take the stage after the film to share information about menopause, including symptoms, the transition, ways to move through the stages, and services available to women in Nova Scotia. Opportunity to submit a question for the panel on your way into theatre.
