In today’s episode, “Breaking the Stigma: Perimenopause & Menopause for Millennials,” Dr. Adrienne Mandelberger and Lauren Tetenbaum, LCSW, explore the Millennial perspective on navigating this life stage. While this generation approaches perimenopause and menopause with more openness, stigma and misinformation still persist. Join us as they answer community questions and discuss how Millennials can help reshape the workplace culture, or their thoughts on hormone blood testing, HRT awareness, menopause education and health support as “standard” in maternity and mental health care.
