Today is a reminder that mental health affects us all, and suicide is a tragedy that we can help prevent. It takes compassion, understanding, and support to save lives. While the causes of suicide are complex, the solution starts with simple actions—listening, reaching out, and showing kindness. Here are a few ways we can support those who may be struggling: 🔸 Listen without judgement – Sometimes, all someone needs is to be heard. 🔸 Check in on your loved ones – A small message can make a huge difference. 🔸 Encourage professional help – There is strength in seeking support, not weakness. 🔸 Be aware of the signs – Changes in mood, withdrawal, or sudden calm after distress can be warning signs. 🔸 Remove stigma – Open up conversations about mental health, letting people know they are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, there are resources available: 📞 Lifeline Australia: Call 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention services. 📞 Beyond Blue: Call 1300 22 4636 for support and resources on mental health. 📲 Emergency Services: For immediate help, dial 000. 💛 If you or someone you know is struggling, don’t hesitate to reach out. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #SupportOneAnother #MentalHealthMatters #ListenWithCompassion #ReachOut #Sagewomenshealth

Reflecting on World Menopause at Work Day 2024 🌿 On Saturday, September 7th, we marked World Menopause at Work Day, a moment to raise awareness about the importance of menopause support in the workplace. As we move into this new week, it’s a reminder that addressing menopause at work isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about creating a lasting impact on women’s wellbeing, careers, and overall lives. Menopause is a reality for millions of women worldwide, and at Sage Women’s Health, we believe that workplaces should be environments where women can thrive, no matter the stage of life they’re in. Our mission is simple: 'To Keep Women Well and At Work'. By creating workplaces that are inclusive, supportive, and proactive, we can reduce the stigma surrounding menopause. Here are a few ways we can make meaningful change: 🔸Training programs to equip managers and teams with the knowledge to support women through menopause 🔸 Policy development to ensure workplaces are inclusive, respectful, and aligned with best practices. 🔸 Encouraging open conversations to normalise menopause and remove stigma. 🔸 Creating wellbeing initiatives that consider the evolving needs of women. At Sage Women’s Health, we’re focused on integrating a culture of wellbeing that supports women in all stages of life. Let’s make sure menopause isn’t just a one-day conversation, but part of how we build healthy, thriving workplaces every day. #WorldMenopauseAtWorkDay #KeepWomenWell #MenopauseSupport #WellbeingAtWork #InclusiveWorkplaces #SageWomensHealth

Stigma around menopause often prevents women from receiving the support they need at work. This #WomensHealthWeek2024, we’re focusing on breaking that stigma by helping organisations implement effective menopause policies. In our latest blog post, our CEO Melanie White outlines key considerations for drafting a menopause policy that fosters a supportive and inclusive environment. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about creating a workplace where all employees can thrive. Key Takeaways: ** The importance of incorporating flexibility in work schedules to manage menopause symptoms effectively. ** How reasonable adjustments in the workplace can make a significant difference without causing undue hardship to the employer. ** It doesn’t have to be called ‘a Menopause Policy’ - often the provisions fit within existing policies ** Creating a menopause policy isn't just about compliance; it's about fostering a supportive environment where all employees can thrive.
