About

Menopause Connect & Thrive is a Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to working in partnership to improve community and workplace wellbeing across North Wales and beyond through innovative and accessible menopause-focused training, support groups, events, arts in health and environmental therapy-based programmes. We create safe and supportive environments where individuals can connect, share, and learn about menopause.

We offer in-person and online services, including bespoke training for leadership, management and frontline staff, arts in health-based interventions, policy development, and café-style conversation sessions.

Our goal is to empower individuals and organisations, promoting better understanding and management of menopause-related challenges while contributing to a healthier, more inclusive community and workplace cultures.

Our Services

Our services cater to both individuals, groups and organisations, focusing on practical solutions to improve health and wellbeing while addressing the specific challenges associated with menopause.

We are set up to offer a unique combination of all of the following services that can be tailored to your requirements:

Community groups, workshops and café style conversation spaces including the development of volunteer model to enable participants to ‘give back’ to their local community if they wish to do so.

Arts in Health and Environmental Therapy Interventions with an educational focus, including referral programmes in conjunction with healthcare partners.

Organisational development support, including training for leadership, management and frontline staff, policy development and guidance to become a menopause friendly workplace.

We are actively committed to becoming a psychologically and trauma informed organisation in line with the Trauma Informed Wales national framework and through the utilisation of the ACE Hub Wales’s organisational self-assessment toolkit and resources. Both Emma and Lisa are experienced in delivering this within other organisations.
