Cycle of change: Understanding Menopause

Cycle of Change is an animated menopause film sharing real-life experiences of perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause.

Watch the film and hear women’s stories.

Menopause will affect half of the population, though so many of us are unprepared and don’t know what to expect, it’s not just hot flushes! Menopause can indirectly affect the other half of the population too: partners, family, friends and colleagues.

How we talk about menopause has to change. We created Cycle of Change: Understanding Menopause, a short animated film, to empower women and share real-life experiences from all stages of the menopause transition.

We hope this film will help you to spot the signs of menopause when it begins and give you the chance to emotionally prepare and find support if needed. There are short edits for social media and subtitled versions of the film on our films page, You can listens to people’s experiences on our Interviews page and see the results from our survey here.
