The workshops are open to all – women do not have to live in the Lanarkshire area and referrals from a clinician are not required.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Hot flushes
We are excited to be offering a 4 week course in collaboration with colleagues from NHS Lanarkshire which uses a CBT approach to help women manage the physical and emotional impact of hot flushes caused by treatment induced menopause. This can be a treatment induced menopause due to medication, the effect of chemotherapy on ovarian function or need to discontinue HRT. This evidence based course will help equip those attending with practical coping strategies, relaxation techniques and cognitive tools to help reduce stress and improve quality of life.
The course will be held in Maggie’s Lanarkshire and will start on Wednesday 23rd September from 11.30am – 1.30pm and run for four weeks (no session on 14th October).
Maggies Lanarkshire also offer a 2 hour menopause workshop covering evidence based management of a broad range of menopause symptoms as a stand alone session.
If you are interested in coming along please email lanarkshire@maggies.org with your name and phone number/email address and we will get in touch with further information alternatively you can call 01236 771199 to speak with the Maggie’s team.
