EMBERS®

Menopause-Informed CBT

Are you a psychologist, CBT Practitioner, mental health professional, coach or other health professional working with women that are navigating the menopause transition? 

•  While going through many years of clinical training, has anyone told you that there is a link between the sex hormones and mental health?
  
  
• Have you been taught about the impact of peri/menopause on mental health and its implications on women's day-to-day functioning?
  
  
• Do you know how to assess, formulate and adapt your therapeutic skills to work with women going through the menopause?

If you answered 'NO' to any of the points above, then you are likely missing important aspects of women's emotional struggles during the menopause and your interventions are not as effective as they can be. 

In this training you will have access to:

• 15 Hours of Recordings: Gain access to the complete set of training recordings.
• PDF Slides and Materials: Alongside the recordings, you'll receive access to all presentation slides and materials in PDF format. This makes it easy for you to review and refer back to key points whenever you need them.
• Essential Resources: As part of this training package, you'll receive invaluable resources like the CBT assessment for Menopause form, Perimenopause Depression Scale Meno-D, Screening tool for menopause, and a comprehensive list of recommended reading materials.
• Engaging Zoom Sessions: You’ll have access to a series of 6 weekly 1.5hours Zoom sessions running on Fridays at 1.00pm (UK time). These sessions will be an opportunity to reflect on each module of the recorded material, encouraging interactive exchanges, group discussions and addressing any queries you may have. Every session will be recorded, granting you the flexibility to review them at your convenience should you not be able to attend the live sessions.
