Supporting Menopause in the
Irish Screen Industry
|
|
|
The National Talent Academies and Screen Guilds of Ireland were delighted to partner on a Menopause Awareness Programme for the Screen Sector, which included collaborations with Screen Producers Ireland and Women in Film & TV Ireland on sessions on 101 awareness, soft skills for menopause management, cultural conversations, reframing narratives, and effective workplace practices.
Over five sessions, the programme brought together creatives, crew and industry leaders to open up conversations that have too often been left unspoken.
We’re now excited to share the Menopause resources that have been a key part of our programme. We hope they’ll be a support to those working in the sector who will inevitably be affected directly and indirectly by Menopause.
