‘(M) Factor’ Film Watch Party

Free CEUs available for RNs and NPs: The (M) Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause film, 3 pm Thursday, October 17, explores the hidden impact of menopause on women’s lives. Menopause has ramifications beyond just an individual woman’s well-being. The far-ranging results of women enduring untreated menopause include billions of dollars in lost wages, upended careers, family disruptions, and emotional chaos. 2.2 million American women will enter menopause this year. Cameras follow women into their doctors’ offices, at work, and in their homes to expose the challenges they face—including racial biases, gender-ignorant care, inequitable structures and systems, and barriers due to the lack of basic midlife healthcare research. Now there’s a movement to fix the broken system, change the culture and transform our future. “The (M) Factor turns the spotlight on the progress being made. More on The (M) Factor website.
