Cycle of Change - Menopause Support

For many years, Emma Lazenby, director of ForMed Films CIC, has been wanting to know more about menopause and wanting to prepare and to help others to for this major life transition.  In 2018 she met Diane Danzebrink, a long-time campaigner for education around menopause.  They started planning a film to educate people about the early stages of menopause (perimenopause). Nurse specialist, Hazel Hayden, joined the discussion in 2020.

In 2022, with support from The Burdett Trust for Nursing, The National Lottery, in collaboration with Menopause Support and Bristol Menopause Clinic, ForMed raised the funds to make Cycle of Change – Understanding Menopause.
