Course Detail: PDV-0202 - Brave Conversations: Hormones, Intimacy & Pelvic Health

It's time to normalize the conversations too often avoided. This engaging, evidence-based session explores the hormonal, physiological, and psychosocial changes of perimenopause and menopause - and how they influence intimacy, pelvic health, and quality of life. Participants will gain practical tools to discuss sensitive topics with confidence, evaluate hormone therapy options, and apply a biopsychosocial framework to support women's sexual function and pelvic well-being. With compassion and clinical insight, this course helps professionals empower women to feel comfortable, confident, and in control of their bodies through every stage of life.
